0 0 Published Aug 16, 2024 They’re similar to a tortilla roll-up, but you basically just spread some nut butter or seed butter on a tortilla, add a banana, roll it up and slice into pieces that look like sushi. It’s such a fun and easy recipe to make! Plus, my kids love helping me roll the tortilla and cut them into pieces, so it’s a great way to get them involved in helping to make their lunch.
banana – grab a large, ripe banana for the best flavor and texture. You want it to be ripe, but not overly ripe, otherwise the roll ups will get mushy. nut butter or seed butter – use your favorite nut butter or seed butter, like peanut butter, almond butter, sunflower seed butter or tahini. tortilla – a whole wheat or regular tortilla works great for this recipe. optional toppings – get creative with honey, chia seeds, shredded coconut, or mini chocolate chips to add extra flavor and fun.

Banana Sushi Topping Ideas
So many fun ideas on how to top these roll-ups. Let us know how you would top them! Here are some simple, yet super tasty options to try:
Honey drizzle: A light drizzle of honey is one of my favorites! Just a bit of sweetness to go with the creamy nut butter and banana is a perfect match. Chia seeds: Sprinkle chia seeds for a nutritional boost and a light crunch. They are high in fiber, protein, and omega-3 fatty acids (but the kids won’t know the difference). Coconut: Add some shredded coconut or toasted coconut for a tropical twist, or add a drizzle of coconut butter for those healthy fats. Mini chocolate chips: For a sweeter treat, sprinkle mini chocolate chips inside the roll before cutting. Cinnamon: A sprinkle of cinnamon can add warmth and enhance the natural sweetness of the banana. Crushed nuts: Top with crushed nuts like almonds, peanuts, or walnuts for added crunch and protein.
How to Store
I really recommend enjoying these roll-ups the same day, but If you have leftover banana sushi roll-ups, place them in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator. They are best consumed within 1 day or else the banana will turn brown and the tortilla will become soggy.
