These quick and easy Sunbutter Banana Roll-Ups are a nut-free twist on the classic peanut butter and banana sandwich. Made with creamy sunflower seed butter and ripe banana wrapped in a soft tortilla, they come together in under 5 minutes for a satisfying, kid-friendly snack or lunchbox treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (8-inch) flour tortilla
  • 2 tablespoons sunflower seed butter (sunbutter)
  • 1 ripe banana (medium, firm)
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • Pinch of cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil or butter (for toasting, optional)

Instructions

  1. Warm the tortilla: Place one flour tortilla on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave for 10-15 seconds, or until warm and pliable. Alternatively, warm in a dry skillet for about 10 seconds per side.
  2. Spread the sunbutter: Using a butter knife or offset spatula, spread 2 tablespoons of sunflower seed butter evenly over the entire surface of the tortilla, all the way to the edges.
  3. Add the banana: Peel the banana and place it whole near one edge of the tortilla, about 1 inch from the edge.
  4. Drizzle and sprinkle (optional): If using, drizzle 1 teaspoon of honey or maple syrup over the banana and sprinkle with a pinch of cinnamon.
  5. Roll it up: Fold the edge of the tortilla over the banana. Tuck it tightly, then roll it up like a burrito, keeping it snug but not so tight that the tortilla tears.
  6. Slice and serve: Place the roll-up seam-side down on a cutting board. Using a sharp serrated knife, slice into 1-inch pinwheels. Serve immediately.
  7. Optional toasting: For a warm, crispy version, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon of coconut oil or butter. Place the whole roll-up (before slicing) in the pan and cook for 1 minute per side, until golden brown and crispy. Let cool for a minute before slicing.

Notes

Warm the tortilla properly to prevent cracking. Spread sunbutter to the edges to create a moisture barrier and prevent sogginess. Use a ripe but firm banana. For best results, let toasted roll-ups rest for a minute before slicing. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
