Ingredients
  

  • 1 large flour tortilla (8–10 inches; whole wheat or gluten-free if desired)
  • 2–3 tablespoons nut or seed butter (peanut, almond, cashew, sunflower seed, or tahini)
  • 1 medium ripe banana (not overly soft)
  • 2–3 tablespoons granola (your favorite variety; low-sugar if you prefer)
  • Optional extras: honey or maple syrup, cinnamon, chia seeds, hemp hearts, mini chocolate chips, shredded coconut, or a drizzle of yogurt
  • Optional swaps for added structure: a thin layer of Greek yogurt or cream cheese under the nut butter

Method
 

  1. Warm the tortilla slightly. Microwave for 10–15 seconds or warm in a skillet until pliable. This helps prevent cracking and makes rolling easier.
  2. Spread the nut butter. Lay the tortilla flat and spread the nut butter in a thin, even layer, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edge. Too thick and it will ooze when you roll.
  3. Add a touch of flavor. If you like, drizzle a little honey or maple syrup and sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon. A few chia or hemp seeds add extra texture and nutrition.
  4. Place the banana. Peel the banana and set it near the edge of the tortilla closest to you. If the banana is curved, you can trim the ends to help it roll straight.
  5. Sprinkle granola. Scatter granola evenly over the nut butter, focusing on the area around the banana. Press it lightly so it sticks.
  6. Roll it up. Roll the tortilla snugly around the banana, tucking it in as you go. Aim for a firm, tight roll to keep slices intact.
  7. Chill briefly (optional but helpful). Wrap the roll in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 5–10 minutes. This firms everything up and makes slicing cleaner.
  8. Slice into “sushi.” Using a sharp knife, cut into 1-inch rounds. Wipe the blade between cuts if it gets sticky for cleaner slices.
  9. Finish and serve. Add a light dusting of cinnamon or a drizzle of yogurt if you like. Serve immediately or pack for later.
