Ingredients
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
Strawberries and Cream 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
Chocolate 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
Lay one of the tortillas flat on a cutting board, and spread 2 tablespoons of peanut butter, cream cheese, or Nutella evenly over the top.
Place the banana at the end of the tortilla. If the banana is very curved, you may need to straighten it out a bit (don’t worry if it cracks).
Roll the banana in the tortilla snugly—like you are rolling someone up snug in a rug! Place the tortilla seam-side-down onto the cutting board.
Take the remaining tablespoon of peanut butter, cream cheese, or Nutella, and spread it evenly over the top of the tortilla roll.
Sprinkle the top of the roll with chopped peanuts, freeze-dried strawberries, or shredded coconut.
Slice the roll into 1-inch sushi rolls. Plate with chopsticks for added fun!
Notes
You can substitute the tortillas with gluten-free versions for a gluten-free treat.
Feel free to adjust the toppings based on what you have at home (e.g., swap peanut butter with almond butter, or use different fruits).
Serve the sushi with fun chopsticks to make it an interactive snack time.
