While on Twitter, I stumbled upon an awesome snack idea posted by EasyLunchBoxes. I knew I had to make it for the children at the after school program I run.
One afternoon for snack, we made the PB&J roll-ups or what the children liked to call PB&J burritos. I guess it was the flour tortilla that sold them.
I had some white flour tortillas (I prefer whole wheat but I had the white flour on hand), creamy peanut butter, strawberry jam and bananas! Yes, I said bananas. This is the hidden delectable yumminess on the inside.
Seven children were in attendance that day and all of them at first thought – bananas and peanut butter with jelly? They enjoyed it though. Not a crumb left and nearly every child asked for seconds!
Tonight we arrived home late. It was one of those nights for a quick bite to eat before getting the little one ready for bed.
In my pantry, I had whole wheat flour tortillas, crunchy peanut butter and in the fridge - strawberry preserves. The bananas are on their last day so it was a great way to use some of them up. (Though I am saving 3-4 of them for creamy banana bread tomorrow!) ---> I posted a banana bread recipe on my blog last June but since then I've found an even better one. I'll post this one soon.
I cut up the remaining banana as a side dish… you know, just in case.
I definitely prefer the crunchy peanut butter over the creamy kind – not at all one note-ish. The crunchy gave it an extra level of texture desperately needed in our PB&J burrito!
I hope you try this snack one day! Buon Appetito!
