These sweet banana bars‑inspired rolls blend ripe banana, creamy peanut butter, and a sprinkle of crunchy toppings for a snack that feels like a playful treat.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 ripe bananas, peeled
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp lime zest
Crunchy Toppings
- 1/4 cup toasted coconut flakes
- 2 tbsp chopped pistachios
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
- Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Slice each banana lengthwise into four long strips, keeping the peel on for stability.
- In a small bowl, whisk together peanut butter, honey, and lime zest until smooth.
- Spread a thin layer of the peanut butter mixture over each banana strip, covering the flesh evenly.
- Roll the banana gently, then press the rolled surface into a mixture of coconut, pistachios, and sesame seeds, adding a pinch of sea salt.
- Arrange the rolls on a plate, drizzle with a little extra honey if desired, and serve immediately.
Notes
- If the banana feels too soft, chill it for 10 minutes before slicing.
- For extra flavor, toast the nuts and seeds lightly in a dry pan.
- Feel free to substitute almond butter for a different nutty profile.
Must-Know Tips
- Don’t over‑roll the banana or it may split.
- Spread peanut butter while bananas are cool, not warm.
- Taste the honey before drizzling; adjust sweetness to preference.
Professional Secrets
- Use room‑temperature bananas for easier slicing.
Warm the peanut butter slightly to improve spreadability.
Toast toppings just until fragrant for maximum aroma.
