A quick and fun snack featuring ripe bananas rolled in creamy sunflower butter inside rice paper wrappers, perfect for a nostalgic and satisfying treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ripe bananas, peeled and slightly firm
  • 1/4 cup creamy sunflower butter
  • 46 rice paper wrappers
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds or toasted coconut flakes (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Fill a large shallow dish with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper into the water for 10-15 seconds until softened but still slightly firm. Lay flat on a damp kitchen towel or cutting board. Repeat with all wrappers.
  2. In a small bowl, combine honey or maple syrup with lemon juice. Set aside.
  3. Peel bananas and gently brush or drizzle the honey-lemon mixture over them to prevent browning and add flavor.
  4. Spread about 1 tablespoon of sunflower butter evenly over each softened rice paper wrapper, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
  5. Place one banana near the edge of the wrapper closest to you. Use whole bananas or slice lengthwise for thinner rolls.
  6. Carefully roll the rice paper over the banana, tucking it in tightly but gently to avoid tearing. Fold in the sides as you go until sealed.
  7. Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 1-inch thick pieces to resemble sushi. Wet the blade slightly if needed for clean slices.
  8. Sprinkle chia seeds or toasted coconut flakes on top for extra texture and flavor.
  9. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours.

Notes

Do not over-soak rice paper wrappers to prevent tearing. Use ripe but firm bananas for best rolling. Spread sunflower butter thinly and roll gently but firmly. Keep hands moist to avoid sticking. Prepare wrappers just before rolling to keep them pliable.
