Nut Butter and Banana Wraps
Overscheduled and hungry? These nut butter and banana wraps deliver quick satisfaction with minimal effort. They’re a perfect grab-and-go solution for busy mornings or a speedy afternoon snack. Serving: 2 | Pre Time: 5 minutes | Cooking Time: 0 minutes
Ingredients
– 2 large flour tortillas (8-inch diameter)
– 4 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
– 1 large banana
– 1 teaspoon honey
– 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
1. Lay two 8-inch flour tortillas flat on a clean work surface.

4. Place one banana half down the center of the peanut butter on each tortilla.
5. Drizzle 1/2 teaspoon of honey over each banana half.

Use a slightly underripe banana for a firmer texture that holds its shape better during rolling. For a crispier wrap, lightly toast the tortilla in a dry skillet over medium heat for 30 seconds per side before assembling. If the peanut butter is too thick to spread easily, warm it slightly for 10 seconds in the microwave. Unwrap a perfect balance of creamy, sweet, and subtly spiced flavors in every bite.
