Banana Sushi: The Snack That’ll Blow Your Mind!

Okay, so have you ever stared at a banana and thought, “What the heck am I gonna do with you?” Like, it’s just sitting there, looking all normal and stuff, but you know you can do better! 🤔 Enter: Banana Sushi. It’s like a fun snack party rolled up in a tortilla, and honestly, it’s more of a vibe than you think.

Okay, Let’s Talk Ingredients

Alright, picture this: you’re at the store, pushing your cart (or maybe just grabbing stuff from your kitchen because who has time to go out?). You need:

– Taco-size flour tortillas (gluten-free if you’re feeling fancy)
– Ripe bananas (but not too ripe, ya know?)
– Peanut butter (3 tablespoons, and I’m not judging if you eat a spoonful, too)
– Cream cheese (this is where things get creamy)
– Strawberries (fresh or freeze-dried, it’s all good)
– Nutella (oh yes! the chocolatey goodness)
– Shredded coconut (because why not sprinkle some tropical vibes?)

Honestly, just grab whatever you’ve got! You can totally mix and match.

So Here’s Why I Make This Constantly

Let me tell you about the time I made these for a snack attack with my kids. They were all, “Mom, we’re starving,” and I was like, “Okay, hold on.” I whipped up these banana sushi rolls in, like, 5 minutes. No joke! I mean, they were bouncing off the walls with excitement. The best part? They created their own crazy combos. One kid went all in on Nutella and strawberries, while the other was like, “Coconut, more coconut!” It turned into a mini competition. 😂

Now, they ask for these every week. I just can’t say no! It’s like a delicious art project, and it keeps the little tornadoes busy for a while.

Another beautiful angle of the dish — *Just as gorgeous from this angle too!*

The One Trick That Changes Everything

So here’s the deal: you gotta roll that tortilla snugly! Like, snug. Not super tight, but enough to keep that banana from flopping out like it’s at a party where it doesn’t belong. If it’s too loose, it’s gonna be a hot mess, trust me! And if it cracks a bit while you’re rolling? No biggie — just embrace the chaos!

Don’t Mess This Up (My Top Tips)

1. Banana ripeness matters: If it’s too ripe, it’ll mush everywhere. Too firm, and it’ll be hard to roll. Find that sweet spot!

2. Spread evenly: Don’t just dump the peanut butter in the middle. Spread it out, my friend! Let that goodness shine through.

3. Use a serrated knife for slicing: This is life-changing, seriously. It cuts through the roll without squishing it!

4. Have fun with toppings: Go wild! Don’t just stick to peanuts. Try crushed graham crackers, or even a drizzle of honey. Ohhh, that’s good.

How to Keep Them From Disappearing (Or, How to Store Them)

So, if you somehow have leftovers (doubtful, but let’s pretend), wrap those babies up in plastic wrap and they’ll hold up for a day. But honestly? They taste best fresh! Just make ‘em when you’re ready to eat.

Yield: 18 servings servings

Ingredients

1 taco-size flour tortilla (gluten-free tortillas work great, too!)

1 ripe but firm banana (peeled)

3 tablespoons peanut butter (divided)

½ cup chopped peanuts

1 taco-size flour tortilla (gluten-free tortillas work great, too!)

1 ripe but firm banana (peeled)

3 tablespoons softened cream cheese (divided)

2 strawberries (thinly sliced)

2 tablespoons crushed freeze-dried strawberries

1 taco-size flour tortilla (gluten-free tortillas work great, too!)

1 ripe but firm banana (peeled)

3 tablespoons Nutella (divided)

2 tablespoons shredded coconut

Instructions

Lay one of the tortillas flat on a cutting board, and spread 2 tablespoons of the peanut butter, cream cheese, or Nutella evenly over the top.
Place the banana at the end of the tortilla. If the banana is very curved, you might need to straighten it out a bit (don’t worry if it cracks some).
Roll the banana in the tortilla snugly—like you are rolling someone up snug in a rug! Place the tortilla seam-side-down onto the cutting board.
Take the remaining tablespoon of peanut butter, cream cheese, or Nutella, and spread it evenly over the top of the tortilla roll. Sprinkle top of roll with chopped peanuts, freeze-dried strawberries, or shredded coconut.
Slice the roll into 1-inch sushi rolls. Plate with chopsticks for added fun!
