Print Recipe

A quick, tasty, and mess-free snack combining creamy peanut butter, ripe banana, and soft flour tortillas rolled and sliced into bite-sized pinwheels. Perfect for kids and adults alike as a healthy snack or light breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8-inch flour tortillas (soft and pliable)
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
  • 1 medium ripe but firm banana, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
  • 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
  • Pinch of cinnamon (optional)
  • Chia seeds or flax seeds (optional)
  • Lemon juice (optional, to prevent banana browning)

Instructions

  1. Gather your ingredients and have them ready on the counter.
  2. Lay the tortilla flat on a cutting board or clean surface. Warm in the microwave for 10-15 seconds if needed to make pliable.
  3. Spread about 2 tablespoons of peanut butter evenly over the tortilla, leaving a half-inch border on one long edge.
  4. Peel and slice one medium banana into thin rounds (about 1/4 inch thick). Arrange the slices over the peanut butter.
  5. Optional: Drizzle 1 teaspoon of honey over the banana slices and sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon evenly.
  6. Roll the tortilla tightly starting from the edge with banana slices, pressing gently to hold the shape.
  7. Using a sharp serrated knife, slice the roll into 1-inch thick pinwheels, yielding about 6-8 pieces per tortilla.
  8. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 24 hours. Wrap tightly if packing for later.

Notes

Warm tortillas before rolling to prevent cracking. Use firm bananas to avoid sogginess. Brush banana slices with lemon juice to reduce browning. Use airtight containers or wrap tightly to keep pinwheels fresh. Variations include using sunflower seed butter for nut allergies or gluten-free tortillas for gluten-free diets.
