With creamy peanut butter sweet banana and a drizzle of honey all tucked inside a soft whole wheat tortilla this is a no-fuss breakfast that feels a bit special even on rushed days. The recipe is perfect for kids and adults alike and I often pack it up for quick breakfasts on the go.
I first whipped this up on a chaotic weekday and it hit all the marks now my family asks for it when we need a quick yet satisfying start to our day.
Ingredients
- Whole wheat tortillas: Give a fiber-rich hearty wrap choose ones that feel soft and pliable for easy rolling
- Creamy peanut butter: Brings protein and healthy fats stir well if oil separation occurs and look for natural versions with just peanuts and salt
- Ripe bananas: Offer natural sweetness and a creamy texture pick ones with small brown speckles for perfect ripeness
- Honey: Adds a touch of sweetness use a mild floral kind for delicate flavor or skip if you prefer less sugar
- Granola: Provides crunch and extra whole grains try to use low-sugar granola with nuts or seeds for more nutrition
- Ground cinnamon: Gives gentle warmth and spice freshly ground cinnamon will have the best aroma
- Chia seeds: Boost fiber and omega-3s ensure they are whole and not powdered for the best crunch
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Lay Out the Tortillas:
- Place tortillas on a clean work surface so you have plenty of room to spread and roll. A wooden board works well to keep things steady
- Spread the Peanut Butter:
- Use a butter knife or spoon to evenly spread two tablespoons of creamy peanut butter onto each tortilla. Leave a one-inch border to prevent messy overflow when rolling
- Layer the Banana:
- Peel your bananas and lay one whole banana horizontally near the bottom edge of each tortilla. Press gently so it stays in place
- Add Sweetness and Crunch:
- Drizzle a teaspoon of honey over each banana if using. Sprinkle granola cinnamon and chia seeds across the filling for layers of flavor and texture
- Roll Up the Wraps:
- Start at the banana end and tightly roll each tortilla away from you tucking in the sides as you go so the filling is fully enclosed. Take your time for a snug wrap that holds together
- Slice and Serve:
- Transfer wraps to a cutting board and slice each on a diagonal for easy eating. Enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture

This wrap sparked so many morning giggles in my kitchen the first time I made it my daughter loved adding extra cinnamon which has become our special twist I always smile thinking of her sticky little fingers helping me roll the wraps.
Storage Tips
These wraps taste best fresh but you can wrap them tightly in plastic or parchment paper and store in the fridge for up to eight hours. If packing for later do not slice them until ready to eat to keep them from getting soggy.
Ingredient Substitutions
Try almond or sunflower seed butter for nut-free needs or swap in maple syrup if you do not have honey. Any soft wrap works including gluten free options or use Greek yogurt instead of peanut butter for a tangy protein boost.
Serving Suggestions
Pair the wrap with a cold glass of milk or a smoothie for a more complete breakfast. I sometimes add apple slices or berries inside the wrap for a fruity crunch and extra vitamins.
Cultural Context
Peanut butter and banana is a classic American breakfast combo made popular by athletes and even singers like Elvis Presley. Wrapping them in a tortilla makes the meal portable and fuss-free perfect for modern busy mornings.
