Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large flour tortilla (10–12 inches)
- 1 ripe banana (yellow with brown spots)
- 2–3 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for sealing)
- 1 teaspoon water (optional, for sealing)
Instructions
- Lay the large flour tortilla flat on a large plate or clean surface.
- Peel the banana and trim the ends if necessary so it fits within the tortilla’s width. Slice the banana in half lengthwise.
- Spread the creamy peanut butter evenly over the tortilla, leaving a half-inch border around the edges.
- Place the banana halves parallel to each other on the peanut butter, starting from the bottom edge.
- Starting at the bottom, lift the tortilla and roll it tightly over the banana, tucking the filling in as you go.
- Dab the top edge of the tortilla with a little water or honey to seal it, then press gently to secure.
- Let the roll sit for a minute to set, then slice into pinwheels or bite-sized pieces with a sharp knife.
- Serve immediately or chill for 10 minutes for easier slicing.
Notes
Use room temperature tortillas to prevent cracking. If the tortilla tears, patch it with a small piece of another tortilla. For a gluten-free version, use rice-based tortillas but handle carefully as they are more fragile. Chill the roll-up for 10 minutes before slicing for cleaner cuts.
