A quick and healthy snack featuring creamy sunflower butter and ripe bananas wrapped in delicate rice paper, perfect for anytime snacking or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

  • Sunflower butter (creamy, unsweetened)
  • Bananas (ripe but firm, sliced lengthwise)
  • Rice paper wrappers
  • Honey or maple syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)
  • Chia seeds or toasted coconut flakes (optional, for texture)
  • Fresh mint or basil leaves (optional, for freshness)

Instructions

  1. Prepare your workspace: Lay out all ingredients within easy reach. Fill a large shallow bowl with warm water (about 95°F / 35°C) to soften the rice paper.
  2. Soften the rice paper: Submerge one rice paper wrapper fully in the warm water for about 15-20 seconds until pliable but not soggy. Lay it flat on a clean surface.
  3. Spread sunflower butter: Using a spreading knife or small spatula, gently coat the rice paper with a thin, even layer of sunflower butter, leaving about 1 inch border at the top edge.
  4. Add banana slices: Place 3-4 banana slices lengthwise across the bottom third of the rice paper. Sprinkle chia seeds, coconut flakes, or fresh herbs over the butter if using.
  5. Roll it up: Fold the bottom edge over the banana, then fold in the sides, and continue rolling tightly but gently until sealed.
  6. Slice the roll: Using a sharp knife, cut the roll into bite-sized pieces about 1 inch thick. Wipe the knife clean between cuts to avoid squashing the banana.
  7. Repeat with remaining wrappers and ingredients. Keep finished rolls covered with a damp cloth to prevent drying out if not serving immediately.
  8. Optional drizzle: Drizzle a little honey or maple syrup over the rolls just before serving for extra sweetness.

Notes

Do not soak rice paper for more than 20 seconds to avoid tearing. Use room temperature sunflower butter for easy spreading. Wipe knife between cuts to keep slices neat. Assemble just before serving or wrap tightly and refrigerate up to 4 hours to prevent drying.
