Peanut Butter Banana Sushi Rolls

Ingredients:

• 2 large bananas
• 2 tablespoons of peanut butter (or almond butter for a nut-free option)
• 2 whole wheat tortillas or wraps
• 1 tablespoon of honey (optional)
• 2 tablespoons of granola
• 1 tablespoon of mini chocolate chips
• Cooking spray (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients:
   • Peel the bananas and lay them on a cutting board.
   • Spread peanut butter (or almond butter) evenly over each tortilla or wrap.
2. Assemble the Sushi Rolls:
   • Place one banana on each tortilla, closer to one edge.
   • Drizzle honey over the bananas if desired.
   • Sprinkle granola and mini chocolate chips over the peanut butter-covered banana.
3. Roll Up the Sushi:
   • Carefully roll the tortilla tightly around the banana, tucking in the sides as you go.
   • If needed, lightly press the edges of the tortilla to seal it shut.
4. Slice the Sushi Rolls:
   • Using a sharp knife, slice each rolled tortilla into bite-sized pieces, creating sushi-like rolls.
5. Serve and Enjoy:
   • Arrange the sushi rolls on a plate and serve them as a fun and nutritious snack or dessert.
   • Optionally, lightly spray the outside of the rolls with cooking spray and lightly toast them in a skillet for a warm, crispy texture.

Additional Tips:

• You can get creative with additional toppings such as shredded coconut, chopped nuts, or dried fruit.
• Encourage kids to customize their sushi rolls by choosing their favorite toppings.
