Directions
- Lay one of the tortillas flat on a cutting board and spread 2 tablespoons of the 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 might need to straighten it out a bit (don’t worry if it cracks some).
- 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!
How to Serve Banana Sushi
Banana Sushi is best served fresh! To make it even more fun, put it on a colorful plate and use chopsticks. It’s a great snack for parties or a sweet treat after school.
How to Store Banana Sushi
If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge. It’s best to eat them within a day for the freshest taste. The bananas can brown, so enjoy them soon!
Tips to Make Banana Sushi
- Make sure your bananas are ripe but firm for easy rolling.
