Ingredients
-
1 cup cooked thick oats or sticky rice, cooled
-
2 tablespoons nut butter (peanut, almond, or cashew)
-
1 banana or ½ cup sliced strawberries
-
1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
-
Pinch of cinnamon
Optional coatings or add-ins:
-
Chia seeds
-
Hemp hearts
-
Shredded coconut
-
Crushed nuts or granola
Instructions
-
Prepare your base:
Lay a sheet of parchment or wax paper on the counter. Place cooled oats or rice on it and press into a thin rectangle (about 8×6 inches). Lightly damp fingers help prevent sticking. -
Spread nut butter:
Spread nut butter evenly over the surface, leaving a small border at the far edge. -
Add fruit:
Place the banana (whole) or a line of sliced strawberries along the edge closest to you. Drizzle with honey or maple syrup if using. Sprinkle cinnamon. -
Roll:
Using the parchment to guide you, roll tightly into a log. Press gently to seal. -
Chill for clean slices (tip):
Chill in the freezer 5–7 minutes to firm up. -
Slice:
Use a sharp knife to cut into 1-inch rounds. Add optional coatings by rolling the outside edges if desired.
Notes
-
Oats should be extra thick, not runny — use less liquid when cooking.
-
Let rice or oats cool fully before rolling.
-
Roll firmly but gently to keep the shape tight.
-
Wipe the knife between cuts for neat slices.
-
Best eaten fresh, but the whole roll can be wrapped and refrigerated up to 24 hours before slicing.
