Banana Dog Bites

February 16, 2011

Have you ever thought about how many peanut butter and something sandwiches you've made for your kids? I think I lost count about two years ago. To alleviate the monotony of day in, day out sammie making (for both me and my kids), I've started whipping up these Banana Dog Bites.

Kenya couldn't stop laughing when I asked him, "you wanna make banana dogs?" He just kept saying, "what's a banana dog? That's so silly!" But he loved spreading the nut butter on the tortilla, peeling the banana, laying it in it's "tortilla bed" (that got another big laugh) and rolling it up for the banana to "sleep tight" (still more giggles). Then I simply cut the Banana Dogs into half-inch sushi-style pieces (which looked adorable), and sent him off to school with them. But it wasn’t until his lunch box came home totally empty that I realized just how yummy they were!

Banana Dog Bites  (Serves 4)

  • Total Time: 2 minutes,

Ingredients

  • 2 bananas, peeled
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter, divided (you could also use almond or sunflower butter)
  • 2 tortillas

Preparation

  1. 1. Place one tortilla on a flat surface and spread 2 tbsp of peanut butter on the tortilla to evenly coat.
  2. 2. Place one banana near the edge of the tortilla and roll it up.
  3. 3. Slice into 1/2 inch rounds and serve.
  4. *If your tortilla bread is stiff, you can put it in the microwave in between two pieces of moist paper towel and heat for 15-20 seconds or until softened.

    My youngest is allergic to peanut butter so we used nutella. They are so good. My kids loved them. I was even snacking on them as well. :)

    Can’t send them to school with my grand-daughter…they are nut free because of an allergy. But these would make a great after Kindergarten snack!

      I have made these and left them out at room temperature for several hours and they held up well. I have not tried freezing them. They are super easy to make and I prefer making these in the morning if it is for school lunch instead of the night before.

    This is a simple recipe, but a great idea. I hadn’t thought of using a whole wheat tortilla, and he loved it!

    I just made these for my son today! He is 2 years old and he LOVES bananas, so I was grateful for a new way to serve them! We made the recipe as directed, but I heated the wrap up in a pan to get the tortilla a bit crunchy for him! He loved it! Thanks for all the wonderful creations!
