These Easy Peanut Butter Banana Sushi Roll-Ups are a quick, fun, and kid-friendly snack made with simple pantry ingredients. Ready in just 9 minutes, they feature creamy peanut butter and sweet banana rolled in a soft tortilla and sliced into cute pinwheels.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 (8-inch) flour tortillas
  • 4 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Soften the tortillas: Warm the tortillas in the microwave for 10-15 seconds wrapped in a damp paper towel, or in a dry skillet for 20 seconds per side, until pliable.
  2. Spread the peanut butter: Place one warm tortilla flat on a cutting board. Spread 2 tablespoons of peanut butter evenly across the entire surface, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edge.
  3. Add the banana: Peel one banana and place it whole near the bottom edge of the tortilla, about 1 inch from the edge. Optionally, slice the banana lengthwise into two halves and place them side by side.
  4. Drizzle and sprinkle (optional): Drizzle about 1 teaspoon of honey over the banana and sprinkle a light dusting of cinnamon over everything.
  5. Roll it up tight: Starting from the bottom edge, fold the tortilla over the banana and roll away from you firmly but gently, tucking in the sides if desired.
  6. Slice into pinwheels: Using a sharp serrated knife, slice the rolled tortilla into 1-inch rounds (about 6-8 pieces per tortilla) using a gentle sawing motion.
  7. Arrange and serve: Place the pinwheels on a plate with the spiral side facing up. Serve immediately for best texture.

Notes

For lunchboxes, brush banana slices with lemon juice to prevent browning. Assemble whole roll-ups (without slicing) up to an hour ahead, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate. Slice just before serving. For a nut-free version, use sun butter or WowButter. For a vegan version, use maple syrup instead of honey and a vegan-friendly tortilla.
