Ingredients
  

2 large tortillas (whole wheat or flour)

1/2 cup peanut butter (choose smooth or crunchy based on preference)

2 ripe bananas

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1/4 cup granola or chopped nuts (optional, for added crunch)

1/4 cup shredded coconut (optional, for rolling)

1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional, for nutrition boost)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Tortillas: Place the tortillas on a clean, flat surface or cutting board. If the tortillas feel stiff, microwave them for about 10 seconds to soften them, making them easier to roll.

    Spread the Peanut Butter: Using a knife or spatula, generously spread peanut butter over each tortilla. Be sure to leave about a half-inch border along the edges to prevent overflow during rolling.

      Add Sweetness and Crunch: Drizzle honey or maple syrup evenly across the layer of peanut butter. If you're opting for granola or chopped nuts, sprinkle them evenly on top, ensuring a good distribution for crunch in every bite.

        Slice the Bananas: Peel both bananas and place them at one edge of the tortilla. You can either leave the bananas whole for a chunky bite or slice them in half lengthwise for easier rolling.

          Roll It Up: Starting at the edge with the bananas, tightly roll the tortilla away from you. Press down gently as you roll to ensure the filling stays secure within the wrap.

            Seal the Edges: After rolling, use a small amount of additional peanut butter to dab on the ends of the tortilla. This acts as glue to help seal the sushi roll.

              Optional Coconut Coating: If you're using shredded coconut, spread it out on a plate. With care, roll the sushi roll in the coconut to coat the outside, adding a tropical flair.

                Slice into Pieces: With a sharp knife, cut the roll into 1-inch pieces for bite-sized servings. For cleaner cuts, wipe the knife with a damp cloth between slices.

                  Serve Creatively: Arrange the colorful sushi rolls on a serving platter. Drizzle any remaining honey or maple syrup over the top for extra sweetness. For an added nutritional element, sprinkle chia seeds on top if using.

                    Enjoy: These delightful Peanut Butter Banana Sushi Rolls can be enjoyed right away or stored in the fridge for up to one day. They make for a perfect snack, dessert, or even a quick breakfast on the go!
