• 2 slices sandwich bread
• 2 tablespoons peanut butter
• 1 large banana
• 1 tablespoon hemp hearts (optional)

Directions

1. I cut the crusts off the slices of bread.
2. Using a rolling pin, I flatten each slice of bread until very thin and smooth.
3. I spread 1 tablespoon of peanut butter evenly over each slice.
4. I cut the banana in half and place each half at one end of the bread slices.
5. I tightly roll the bread around the banana, gently pressing the edge to help seal it.
6. I slice each roll into 1-inch pieces to create the sushi-style bites.
7. I sprinkle hemp hearts or any favorite toppings over the pieces before serving.

Variations

I sometimes use almond butter or chocolate hazelnut spread instead of peanut butter for a different flavor. When I want extra sweetness, I drizzle a little honey over the top. I also enjoy rolling the finished pieces in crushed nuts, shredded coconut, or mini chocolate chips for extra texture and fun.

Storage/Reheating

I prefer eating these fresh because the banana stays firm and the bread remains soft. If I need to store leftovers, I keep them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one day. I do not usually reheat them since they are best served cold or at room temperature.
