Description
Banana Sushi is a fun, no-cook snack made by wrapping a banana in a tortilla with spreads like peanut butter, cream cheese, or Nutella, and rolling it in toppings. It’s a playful, healthy treat perfect for kids, parties, or lunchboxes.
Ingredients
3 taco-size flour tortillas
3 ripe but firm bananas, peeled
3 tablespoons peanut butter
½ cup chopped peanuts
3 tablespoons softened cream cheese
2 strawberries, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons crushed freeze-dried strawberries
3 tablespoons Nutella
2 tablespoons shredded coconut
Instructions
- Lay one tortilla flat on a cutting board. Spread 2 tablespoons of your chosen spread (peanut butter, cream cheese, or Nutella) evenly over the top.
- Place a banana along the edge of the tortilla. If the banana is curved, gently straighten it.
- Roll the banana snugly in the tortilla. Place it seam-side-down on the board.
- Spread the remaining 1 tablespoon of the same spread over the top of the rolled tortilla.
- Sprinkle with the chosen topping: chopped peanuts, freeze-dried strawberries, or shredded coconut.
- Slice the roll into 1-inch rounds using a sharp knife.
- Serve with chopsticks or as finger food and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Best served fresh to avoid banana browning and soggy tortillas.
- Use firm bananas for better rolling and texture.
- Try different spreads and toppings to create your own combinations.
- For a nut-free version, use sunflower seed butter and skip nuts.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 1 day if needed.
