• Soft flour tortillas

• Creamy or crunchy peanut butter

• Ripe bananas

Optional add-ins:

• Honey

• Cinnamon

• Mini chocolate chips

• Nutella or almond butter (for swaps)

Directions

1. I lay out a tortilla on a flat surface and spread a generous layer of peanut butter evenly across it.

2. If I’m feeling fancy, I drizzle a bit of honey or sprinkle some cinnamon over the peanut butter.

3. I place a whole peeled banana along one edge of the tortilla.

4. I roll the tortilla tightly around the banana until it forms a neat wrap.

5. I slice the roll-up into bite-sized pinwheels or leave it whole, depending on how I’m serving it.

6. I serve it immediately or store it for later.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes 1 roll-up per tortilla and banana. It takes about 5 minutes to make, with no cooking involved. I usually prep 2 to 3 in under 15 minutes if I’m feeding a group.

Variations

I like swapping peanut butter with almond butter or sunflower seed butter for different flavor profiles. Sometimes I add a layer of Nutella or chocolate chips for a treat. For a protein boost, I sprinkle in some chia or flax seeds. If I want a crunchier texture, I toast the roll-ups lightly in a skillet for a warm twist.

storage/reheating

I store leftover roll-ups in the fridge, wrapped tightly in plastic or in an airtight container, for up to 24 hours. If I toast them, I reheat them in a pan or microwave briefly the next day. For the freshest taste and texture, I usually make them right before eating.

FAQs

Can I make these roll-ups ahead of time?

Yes, I often prep them a few hours ahead, but for the best texture, I don’t store them longer than a day—bananas can get mushy.

What kind of tortilla works best?

I like using soft, burrito-sized flour tortillas. Whole wheat or low-carb versions work great too.

Can I freeze peanut butter banana roll-ups?

I don’t recommend freezing them—the bananas don’t thaw well and become too soft.

How do I keep the roll-ups from getting soggy?

I avoid overfilling and wrap them tightly. If storing, I keep them chilled and wrap them well to prevent moisture buildup.

Are these good for kids?

Definitely. They’re a hit in lunchboxes, cut into small pieces, and easy for little hands to hold and enjoy.

Conclusion

These peanut butter banana roll-ups are a fast, filling, and flavorful option I can make anytime. Whether I’m craving something sweet, need a quick breakfast, or want to pack a healthy snack, this recipe always comes through. It’s simple, delicious, and endlessly adaptable to whatever I have on hand.
