Print Recipe

A quick and easy snack featuring warm peanut butter melting over sweet bananas inside a toasted tortilla, perfect for any time of day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium flour tortilla (8-inch)
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
  • 1 ripe banana, sliced thinly
  • 1 tablespoon butter or coconut oil
  • Honey or maple syrup (optional, for drizzling)
  • Pinch of cinnamon (optional)
  • Chopped nuts or chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Slice one ripe banana thinly on a cutting board. Measure out about 2 tablespoons of peanut butter per quesadilla. Have cinnamon or honey ready if using.
  2. Lay one flour tortilla flat on a plate. Spread the peanut butter evenly over half of the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edge.
  3. Arrange banana slices evenly over the peanut butter. Sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon if desired.
  4. Scatter chopped nuts or a few chocolate chips over the bananas if using.
  5. Gently fold the tortilla in half, pressing lightly to seal the edges without squeezing out the filling.
  6. Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter or coconut oil. Let it melt and coat the pan evenly.
  7. Carefully transfer the folded quesadilla to the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and crisp.
  8. Flip the quesadilla gently using a spatula and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden and the peanut butter is warm and melty.
  9. Transfer to a cutting board and let it rest for a minute or two to set the filling.
  10. Slice into wedges with a sharp knife. Drizzle honey or maple syrup on top if desired and serve warm.

Notes

Use firm, ripe bananas to avoid sogginess. Warm peanut butter slightly if too thick to spread. Keep skillet at medium heat to prevent burning. Optional add-ons like cinnamon, honey, nuts, or chocolate chips enhance flavor. For nut-free versions, substitute peanut butter with sunflower seed or almond butter. Reheat leftovers in a skillet for best crispness.
