Peanut Butter Banana Sandwich Roll-Ups
These Peanut Butter and Banana Roll-Ups are my go-to breakfast hack that’ll make you forget about boring old sandwiches!
Ready in just 5 minutes, they’re my go-to for busy mornings, after-school snacks, or anytime I need a delicious pick-me-up.
Variations & Substitutions
You can swap the peanut butter for almond or cashew butter for a different nutty flavor. For added excitement, try sprinkling chocolate chips, chia seeds, or shredded coconut before rolling.
If you’re dealing with nut allergies, sunflower butter makes an excellent alternative. Want it sweeter? A light spread of Nutella or a drizzle of maple syrup can transform this simple roll-up into a delightful treat.
Tips & Tricks for Perfect Results
Here’s my secret to perfect roll-ups: choose bananas that are ripe but still firm – they’ll hold their shape better when rolling.
Always spread the peanut butter evenly to ensure every bite is delicious. If you’re making these for lunch boxes, add a tiny splash of lemon juice to your banana to prevent browning.
For easier rolling, slightly warm your tortilla in the microwave for 10 seconds – it becomes more pliable and less likely to tear.
Making the Recipe Stand Out
To elevate these roll-ups, I like to think outside the box. Try using different tortilla varieties – spinach or sun-dried tomato wraps add beautiful color and subtle flavor. Consider toasting the rolled wrap in a pan with a touch of butter for a crispy exterior.
For special occasions, roll the edges in crushed nuts or colorful sprinkles. You can also slice them into “sushi” sized pieces for a fun presentation that kids absolutely love.
Storage & Reheating
These roll-ups are best enjoyed fresh, but if you need to store them, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. They’ll keep in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
