Print Recipe

A quick and easy homemade snack combining the sweet and creamy flavors of peanut butter and banana inside a warm, crispy tortilla. Perfect for satisfying late-night cravings with simple ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large flour tortilla or 2 small flour tortillas
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
  • 1 medium ripe banana, sliced thin (about 1/8 inch thick)
  • Optional add-ins:
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
  • A pinch of cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)
  • Butter or cooking spray (for greasing the pan)

Instructions

  1. Slice the banana into thin rounds, about 1/8 inch thick.
  2. Heat a non-stick skillet or cast iron pan over medium heat. Optionally, melt about 1 teaspoon of butter or spray with cooking spray to prevent sticking and add crispiness.
  3. Lay the tortilla flat on a plate. Spread 2 tablespoons of peanut butter evenly over half the tortilla.
  4. Arrange banana slices on top of the peanut butter in a single layer.
  5. If using, sprinkle honey, cinnamon, chocolate chips, or chopped nuts over the banana slices.
  6. Fold the tortilla in half, pressing gently to seal.
  7. Transfer the folded tortilla to the hot skillet. Cook for about 2 minutes on one side until golden and crispy, then flip and cook the other side for another 2 minutes.
  8. Remove from the pan, cut into wedges, and serve warm. Optionally drizzle extra honey or sprinkle flaky sea salt on top.

Notes

Use medium heat to avoid burning the tortilla while ensuring the peanut butter melts. Slice banana thinly to prevent sogginess. Press the folded tortilla gently with a spatula to keep it from falling apart. Optional add-ins like honey, cinnamon, chocolate chips, or nuts add flavor and texture. Butter or cooking spray helps achieve a crispy crust. For a vegan version, use vegan tortillas and plant-based butter.
