Ingredients
- 2 large tortillas
- 2 ripe bananas
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon honey
- Cinnamon to taste
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and ensure they are at room temperature. Place a non-stick skillet or griddle on the stove over medium-low heat.
- Lay out the tortillas flat on a clean work surface. Spread an even layer of peanut butter across the center of each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Peel the ripe bananas and slice them lengthwise into long, thin strips. Arrange the banana strips in a single line down the center of each tortilla, on top of the peanut butter.
- Drizzle honey evenly over the banana strips, ensuring a light and consistent coating.
- Sprinkle ground cinnamon over the bananas to add warmth and depth of flavor.
- Carefully fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll the tortilla tightly from bottom to top, creating a compact roll-up.
- Place the rolled tortillas seam-side down in the preheated skillet. Cook for approximately 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla turns golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the roll-ups from the skillet and let them cool for a minute. Slice diagonally if desired, and serve warm.
- Optional: Garnish with additional cinnamon or a light drizzle of honey before serving.
Tips
- Choose ripe bananas with some brown spots for maximum sweetness and easier slicing.
- Keep your heat at medium-low to prevent burning and ensure even, golden-brown crispiness.
- Make sure to seal the roll-ups tightly to prevent filling from leaking during cooking.
- For extra indulgence, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
- Experiment with different nut butters like almond or cashew butter for unique flavor variations.
- Use whole wheat tortillas for a healthier twist without compromising on taste.
- If you prefer a less sweet version, reduce the honey or use a sugar-free alternative.
