  Banana Sushi Rolls

  Prep Time 5 minutes

  Total Time 5 minutes

  Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon desiccated coconut
  • 1 tablespoon chocolate spread plus a little extra for decorating
  • 1 ripe banana peeled
  • 1 soft tortilla
  • 2 strawberries hulled and thinly sliced

  Optional Topping Ideas

  • Crushed roasted nuts if suitable for those eating them
  • Crushed corn flakes
  • Mini chocolate chips
  • Rainbow sprinkles
  • Chia seeds or crushed freeze-dried strawberries

  Instructions

  1. Spread the chocolate spread evenly over the peeled banana. Pour the desiccated coconut onto a plate and gently roll the banana until it is evenly coated.
  2. Lay the tortilla flat on a clean surface and place the coated banana in the center. Roll the tortilla tightly around the banana to create a firm wrap.
  3. Using a sharp knife, slice the wrap into bite-sized rounds. Arrange the pieces on a serving plate, then top each with a small dollop of chocolate spread and a slice of fresh strawberry.
  
  

  Helpful Tips

  • Choose a banana that is ripe but still firm to make slicing easier.
  • Chill the wrapped banana for 10 minutes before slicing if you want cleaner, neater pieces.
  • Use a serrated knife for smooth, even cuts.
  • Swap strawberries for blueberries, raspberries, kiwi, or sliced grapes depending on the season.

  Easy Variations

  • Replace the chocolate spread with peanut butter, almond butter, or sunflower seed butter.
  • Skip the coconut and use crushed corn flakes or finely chopped nuts for extra crunch.
  • Add a thin layer of cream cheese or Greek yogurt inside the tortilla for a creamier filling.
  • Sprinkle with cinnamon for extra flavor.

  Storage

  These Banana Sushi Rolls are best enjoyed immediately while the banana is fresh. If needed, store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 hours. To help reduce browning, lightly brush the banana with a little lemon juice before assembling.

  Nutritional Note

  This snack provides fruit, carbohydrates, and a touch of indulgence from the chocolate spread. For a more balanced option, choose a whole wheat tortilla and a reduced-sugar chocolate spread, or substitute part of the chocolate spread with nut butter or yogurt.

  Whether you’re entertaining little ones during the school holidays or simply looking for a fun afternoon snack, these Banana Sushi Rolls are guaranteed to bring smiles. They’re quick to prepare, easy to customize, and delicious enough that both kids and adults will be reaching for another bite.
