Description
Banana Sushi Rolls are proof that a snack can be quick, healthy, and genuinely fun. In just a few minutes, a simple banana transforms into playful, bite-sized “sushi” rolls coated in creamy nut butter and crunchy toppings. They’re perfect for kids, great for a post-workout boost, and ideal when you want something sweet without going overboard.
Ingredients
Base
-
1 large, firm banana
-
2 tablespoons nut butter (peanut, almond, or sunflower seed butter)
Optional Wrap
-
1 whole-grain tortilla or flatbread (optional, for a heartier roll)
Toppings (choose 1–3)
-
Granola (finely chopped works best)
-
Shredded coconut
-
Mini chocolate chips
-
Chia seeds or hemp seeds
-
Crushed nuts
-
Cinnamon sugar
-
Crushed freeze-dried fruit
Instructions
-
Prep
Peel the banana. If using a tortilla, lay it flat on a cutting board. -
Spread
Spread nut butter evenly over the banana, or over the tortilla if using the wrapped version. -
Roll
-
Naked version: Roll the nut-butter-coated banana directly in your chosen toppings.
-
Wrapped version: Place the banana on the tortilla, roll it up snugly, then optionally coat the outside with toppings.
-
-
Slice
Using a sharp knife, gently slice into ½–1 inch rounds. -
Serve Immediately
Best enjoyed fresh for optimal texture and color.
Notes
-
Use a ripe but firm banana—too soft will squish.
-
If nut butter is thick, microwave it 5–10 seconds to loosen.
-
Press toppings gently so they stick without crushing the banana.

For school lunches, pack components separately and assemble just before eating.
