Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large whole wheat tortilla (or your favorite wrap; use gluten-free if needed)
  • 1 medium banana (ripe but firm, so it doesn’t mush when rolled)
  • 2 tablespoons almond butter (stirred well if natural, for easy spreading)
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional, adds warmth and flavor)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flaxseed (optional, for extra fiber and omega-3s)
  • A pinch of flaky sea salt (optional, to balance sweetness)

Method
 

  1. Lay the tortilla flat on a cutting board. If it feels stiff, warm it for 10–15 seconds in the microwave to make it more flexible.
  2. Spread the almond butter evenly over the tortilla, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges to prevent overflow.
  3. Drizzle the honey or maple syrup over the almond butter, if using. Sprinkle cinnamon, seeds, and a tiny pinch of salt.
  4. Peel the banana and place it near one edge of the tortilla, aligned horizontally so it rolls up into a tight log.
  5. Roll the tortilla tightly around the banana, tucking the edge under as you go to keep it snug.
  6. Use a sharp knife to slice the roll-up into 1-inch pieces. Wipe the blade between cuts to keep slices clean.
  7. Serve as is, or pop the slices in the fridge for a few minutes if you prefer a chilled, firmer bite.
