Ingredients
Scale
Fruit & Spreads
- 2 ripe bananas
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter (or almond/sunflower seed butter)
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional, can substitute with maple syrup or agave)
- 2 tablespoons chocolate hazelnut spread (optional)
Toppings
- 1 cup granola (your favorite flavor)
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (any mix)
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (dark chocolate recommended)
- 1/4 cup sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Bananas: Peel the ripe bananas and place them on a flat surface. If desired, trim the ends slightly for a clean look.
- Spread Nut Butter: Using a knife or spatula, evenly spread the peanut butter over each banana, covering the full length for the best taste and adhesion of toppings.
- Add Honey (Optional): Drizzle the honey or your preferred syrup over the nut butter layer to add a natural sweetness and slight stickiness for toppings to hold better.
- Roll in Toppings: Spread the granola, shredded coconut, chopped nuts, mini chocolate chips, and sprinkles on a large plate or shallow bowl. Roll each peanut butter-coated banana in the mixture, gently pressing so that the toppings stick firmly.
- Slice the Rolls: Once fully coated, slice each rolled banana into approximately 1-inch thick rounds, resembling sushi pieces. Arrange them on a serving plate.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately for the freshest flavor and texture. These banana sushi rolls make a delightful snack or healthy dessert.
