Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Flour tortillas
- 0.5 cup Peanut butter (or any nut/seed butter alternative)
- 2 medium Bananas
- 2 tablespoons Honey (optional)
- 0.25 cup Mini chocolate chips or raisins
Instructions
Lay one flour tortilla flat on a clean surface or plate.
Spread 2 tablespoons of peanut butter evenly across the surface of the tortilla, leaving a small margin around the edges.
Peel a banana and place it near the edge of the tortilla. Roll the tortilla around the banana tightly to form a 'rug'.
Drizzle a small amount of honey lengthwise along the rolled tortilla, if desired, for extra sweetness.
Sprinkle mini chocolate chips or raisins over the honey so that they resemble 'bugs' stuck to the rug.
Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and bananas.
Cut each roll into 1-inch slices using a sharp knife, creating bite-sized rolls with visible 'bugs'.
Arrange on a serving platter and serve immediately, or wrap in plastic wrap to keep for later.
