Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large whole wheat or flour tortilla (8–10 inches)
  • 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter (or crunchy, if you like texture)
  • 1 medium ripe banana, peeled
  • 1–2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds, flax seeds, or hemp hearts (optional)
  • 1–2 tablespoons granola or crushed nuts for crunch (optional)
  • Pinch of ground cinnamon or a dash of vanilla extract (optional)
  • Small pinch of sea salt (optional, to balance sweetness)

Method
 

  1. Warm the tortilla slightly. Place it in a dry skillet over low heat for 10–15 seconds per side, or microwave for 10 seconds. This makes it more flexible and less likely to tear.
  2. Spread the peanut butter. Lay the tortilla flat and spread peanut butter evenly, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
  3. Add the banana. Place the whole banana horizontally near the lower third of the tortilla. For a more even roll, you can slice the banana lengthwise or into coins and arrange in a line.
  4. Layer in extras. Drizzle honey or maple syrup if you like added sweetness. Sprinkle seeds, granola, or nuts for a bit of crunch. Add a light dusting of cinnamon or a tiny splash of vanilla. Finish with a pinch of sea salt to sharpen the flavors.
  5. Roll it up. Fold the sides inward, then roll from the bottom up, keeping it tight as you go. This helps keep fillings in place and the wrap neat.
  6. Slice and serve. Cut in half on the diagonal for easy eating. For kids or snacks, slice into rounds like sushi.
  7. Make it to-go. Wrap in parchment or foil for a travel-friendly snack. If packing ahead, skip the honey and use a sturdy tortilla to prevent sogginess.
