Delicious Peanut Butter Banana Breakfast Quesadilla
Ingredients
Scale
- 2large whole-wheat tortillas
- 4 tbspnatural peanut butter
- 2bananas, thinly sliced
- 2 tbspGreek yogurt (or dairy-free alternative)
- 2 tsphoney (or maple syrup)
- Cinnamon (optional)
- Crushed nuts or granola for crunch (optional)
Instructions
- Start by laying out your whole-wheat tortillas on a clean surface. Take 2 tablespoons of natural peanut butter and spread it evenly onto the surface of each tortilla. The peanut butter acts not only as a delicious base but also helps to hold the banana slices in place as you fold the tortillas.
- Next, take your thinly sliced bananas and arrange them over one half of each tortilla. Layering the bananas adds natural sweetness and flavor to your quesadilla, giving it that perfect breakfast taste. After the bananas are in place, fold the tortillas in half over the banana-peanut butter mixture.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once the skillet is warm, carefully place the folded quesadillas in the pan. Cook them for about 2–3 minutes on one side. When the tortillas turn golden brown and slightly crisp, gently flip them using a spatula and cook the other side for another 2–3 minutes. Paying attention to the cooking time ensures that your quesadillas are perfectly toasted without burning.
- After both sides are golden and crispy, remove your quesadillas from the skillet and place them on a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to slice them into wedges for easy eating. Drizzle your favorite Greek yogurt over the top and add a touch of honey, enhancing both flavor and presentation. If you like, sprinkle a bit of cinnamon and crushed nuts or granola over the top for crunch and extra flavor.
Notes
Make sure to use fresh bananas to get the best taste and texture for the quesadilla. Adjust the cooking time based on your stove; not all stovetops heat the same.
