Variations to Peanut Butter Banana Roll Ups
- Nutella – Swap peanut butter for Nutella for a decadent treat. Better yet, use them both together.
- Chocolate Chips – Sprinkle the peanut butter with mini chocolate chips, the place the banana on top and roll.
- Melted Chocolate – Dip your pinwheels in melted chocolate.
- Jelly – Add your favorite jelly or jam with the peanut butter.
- Nut-Free Spread of Choice – Instead of using peanut butter use almond butter, sunflower seed butter, granola butter or apple butter if there’s a peanut allergy.
- Tortilla Variations – Swap out the flour tortillas for a low carb tortilla and use an all-natural peanut butter for a lower-carb treat. You can even use a whole wheat tortilla or gluten-free tortilla. Make these roll ups with slice of bread if you are out of tortillas.
- Additions – Top the peanut butter with shredded coconut, hemp seeds, chia seeds, sea salt, or chop nuts. You can even add slice strawberries for added flavor.
- Honey – Drizzle a small amount of raw honey on the peanut butter and sprinkle with cinnamon before adding the banana. You can even use maple syrup.
- Toast the Roll Ups – Take it to the next level by grilling your peanut butter banana roll up before you slice them. Pan-frying or making air fryer peanut butter banana roll ups are a delicious variation.
How to Make Banana Peanut Butter Roll Ups
Step 1 – Spread Peanut butter over the entire surface of the tortilla. Don’t skimp on this part – you will want to go heavy on the peanut butter.
Step 2 – Place the medium banana in the middle of the tortilla.
Step 3 – Roll the tortilla around the peanut butter. You might need to cut the banana in half so it will lay a little flatter.
Step 4 – Finish rolling and then slice in about 1 inch pieces. It is really that easy to make.
Expert Tips
- Cut Banana – If you prefer a less banana taste, feel free to cut the banana in half lengthwise and then rolled it up. So one banana actually ends up making two roll ups. I liked it better that way but my kids didn’t care either way.
- Cut Roll Ups – You can slice the banana rolls ups what ever size that you prefer. I like doing small sizes especially when serving with with snacks such as Easy After School Snacks for Kids.
- Tortilla – It is best to use a tortilla that is at room temperature to make it pliable. You may need to heat in the microwave for about 10 seconds.
Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely! Peanut butter is a good source of protein and the banana is a healthy source of carbs. The combo together will help replenish your energy and keep it going through the afternoon slump. That’s what makes these peanut butter and banana pinwheels a great after school or even a post-workout snack. Sometimes we even make these simple pinwheels for lunch.
We recommend making them right before serving so the banana stays fresh.
We prefer to use bananas that are hard and not over-ripped so they hold up butter when wrapping in the tortilla.

I added a little sea salt to the banana, don’t bother. I also went a little heavier on the peanut butter, a bit to much, but do this twice and you will find the balance you like. Going to take this to work for lunch.
I usually make these right before serving as the bananas will brown in a few hours. Thanks!
How far in advance can you make these with out the banana turning brown?
