Ingredients
Scale
Quesadillas
- 2 medium flour tortillas
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 large ripe banana, sliced
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
- 1 tablespoon butter or coconut oil (for cooking)
Instructions
- Prepare the Tortillas: Spread peanut butter evenly over one side of each flour tortilla to ensure each bite is creamy and flavorful.
- Add Banana and Seasoning: Layer banana slices on one peanut butter–covered tortilla, making sure to cover the entire surface. Sprinkle with cinnamon and drizzle honey over the bananas if you want a touch of extra sweetness.
- Assemble the Quesadilla: Place the second tortilla on top, with the peanut butter side facing down to create a sandwich.
- Heat the Skillet: Warm the butter or coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat until melted and hot.
- Cook the Quesadilla: Place the assembled quesadilla in the skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, pressing gently, until the tortillas are golden brown and crisp and the peanut butter is melty.
- Serve: Remove the quesadilla from the skillet, allow it to cool slightly, then slice into wedges and serve warm for a comforting snack.
Notes
- Add mini chocolate chips or chopped nuts inside the quesadilla for extra texture and flavor.
- Whole wheat tortillas are a great alternative if you want a healthier twist.
