Ingredients
- 2 medium flour tortillas
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 large ripe banana, sliced
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon butter or cooking spray for the pan
Instructions
- Spread Peanut Butter: Evenly spread peanut butter on one side of each tortilla to ensure a creamy base that holds the filling together.
- Add Banana and Sweetener: Arrange the banana slices over one tortilla, drizzle with honey or maple syrup if desired for extra sweetness, and sprinkle with ground cinnamon to add warmth and depth of flavor.
- Assemble Quesadilla: Place the second tortilla on top, with the peanut butter side down against the bananas, creating a sandwich that keeps the ingredients intact while cooking.
- Heat Pan: Preheat a skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking and add a golden crust.
- Cook Quesadilla: Place the assembled quesadilla in the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy, and the peanut butter is warm.
- Serve: Remove from heat, allow to cool slightly, slice into wedges, and serve warm for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Use whole wheat tortillas for added fiber and nutritional benefits.
- Add mini chocolate chips or chopped nuts inside the quesadilla for extra flavor and crunch.
- This recipe works great as a breakfast, snack, or healthy dessert suitable for kids and adults alike.
