What you will need
This recipe uses 6 simple ingredients that you can find at any grocery store:
- 1 large flour tortilla
- 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
- 1 medium ripe banana
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon mini chocolate chips
Step by step instructions
Step 1: Spread the Peanut Butter
Lay the flour tortilla flat on a clean cutting board and spread the peanut butter evenly across the entire surface leaving a half inch border around the edges.
Step 2: Add the Fillings
Peel the banana and place it at one edge of the tortilla then drizzle the honey over the peanut butter and sprinkle cinnamon and mini chocolate chips evenly across the surface.
Step 3: Roll It Up
Starting from the edge with the banana roll the tortilla tightly around the banana keeping even pressure to avoid any gaps or air pockets inside.
Step 4: Slice and Pack
Use a sharp knife to slice the roll-up into 4 equal pinwheel pieces and place them cut side up in an airtight lunchbox container.
