Ingredients
Scale
Peanut Butter Banana Sushi
- 1 taco-size flour tortilla (gluten-free tortillas work great, too!)
- 1 ripe but firm banana (peeled)
- 3 tablespoons peanut butter (divided)
- ½ cup chopped peanuts
Cream Cheese and Strawberry Banana Sushi
- 1 taco-size flour tortilla (gluten-free tortillas work great, too!)
- 1 ripe but firm banana (peeled)
- 3 tablespoons softened cream cheese (divided)
- 2 strawberries (thinly sliced)
- 2 tablespoons crushed freeze-dried strawberries
Nutella and Coconut Banana Sushi
- 1 taco-size flour tortilla (gluten-free tortillas work great, too!)
- 1 ripe but firm banana (peeled)
- 3 tablespoons Nutella (divided)
- 2 tablespoons shredded coconut
Instructions
- Prepare the Tortilla: Lay the flour tortilla flat on a clean surface to serve as the base for your banana sushi roll.
- Spread the Spread: Evenly spread 1 tablespoon of your chosen spread (peanut butter, softened cream cheese, or Nutella) over the entire surface of the tortilla, leaving a small border at the edges.
- Add the Banana: Place the peeled banana horizontally near one edge of the tortilla, aligning it for an even roll.
- Roll the Sushi: Carefully roll the tortilla around the banana tightly to form a sushi roll, ensuring the filling stays secure within.
- Slice the Roll: Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 1-inch thick pieces, resembling sushi cuts.
- Coat the Sushi: Spread or sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of the chosen spread over the sliced pieces to help the toppings adhere, then roll or sprinkle with the corresponding toppings: chopped peanuts for peanut butter roll, thinly sliced strawberries and crushed freeze-dried strawberries for cream cheese roll, shredded coconut for Nutella roll.
- Serve: Arrange the banana sushi pieces on a plate and serve immediately as a fun, nutritious snack.
Notes
- Use firm but ripe bananas to ensure the roll holds together well without becoming mushy.
- Gluten-free tortillas are a great alternative if you have dietary restrictions.
- Feel free to mix and match spreads and toppings to create your own flavor combinations.
- Serve immediately to prevent the tortilla from becoming soggy.
- This recipe can be customized by adding other fruits or nuts to suit your preferences.
