Ingredients for Peanut Butter and Banana Sushi

Whole wheat tortilla: This adds a subtle nutty flavor and a bit of texture, while also keeping things on the healthier side compared to traditional white tortillas.

Creamy peanut butter: The star of the show, this provides a rich, smooth base that pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the banana.

Ripe banana: Sweet and soft, the banana complements the peanut butter wonderfully, making each bite a harmonious blend of flavors.

Tips & Tricks

  • If your peanut butter is too thick, warm it slightly for easier spreading.
  • For cleaner cuts, wipe your knife with a damp cloth between slices.
  • Consider sprinkling a touch of cinnamon over the peanut butter for extra flavor.

Serving Suggestions

These peanut butter and banana sushi bites are great on their own, but you could serve them with a small dish of honey or chocolate sauce for dipping. If you're preparing a larger snack platter, consider adding some apple slices or a handful of mixed nuts to complement the flavors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a different type of nut butter?

What if I don't have whole wheat tortillas?
You can use any type of tortilla you have on hand, but whole wheat provides a nice flavor and texture.
Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes, they can be made a few hours in advance. Just be sure to wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate until serving.

Peanut Butter and Banana Sushi Recipe Walkthrough

Start by laying your whole wheat tortilla flat on a clean surface. Take about two tablespoons of creamy peanut butter and spread it evenly over the entire surface. Make sure you get all the way to the edges so every bite is flavorful.

Next, peel your ripe banana and place it along one edge of the tortilla. It's okay if the banana doesn't reach all the way across; rolling it up will help distribute the banana evenly.

Now, begin to carefully roll the tortilla around the banana. Start from the edge where the banana is placed and roll tightly but gently to ensure everything holds together.

Once you have your roll, use a sharp knife to slice it into 1-inch pieces. This will create those cute, sushi-like bites that are perfect for serving.
