These sweet quesadillas are such a fun and easy food idea for kids of all ages! Even mom won’t be able to resist making one for herself. They’re warm, gooey, sweet, versatile, and ready in just a few minutes. They make a yummy breakfast, after-school snack, quick lunch, or even a simple dessert when you’re craving a yummy treat.
The combination is hard to resist! Creamy peanut butter, sliced bananas, and chocolate chips tucked inside a crispy golden tortilla. Picky eaters will gobble them up as a quick meal anytime of the day, and parents will love how incredibly easy they are to throw together. Simply fill, fold, toast, and slice!
Ingredients Needed
- flour tortillas
- peanut butter
- sliced bananas
- chocolate chips
Step 1Spread about 2 tablespoons of peanut butter evenly over a soft taco-size flour tortilla. Feel free to use your favorite peanut butter and either regular or whole wheat tortillas.
Step 2Top half of the tortilla with sliced banana (about half a banana) and a small handful of chocolate chips. For a healthier twist, skip the chocolate chips and drizzle with a little honey and a sprinkle of cinnamon instead.
Step 3Fold the tortilla in half, then cook it in a skillet over medium-high heat for a few minutes on each side until golden and crispy. You can also pop it in the air fryer at 390°F for 3–5 minutes.
Step 4Cut the quesadilla in half, let it cool for a few minutes, and enjoy! We actually think these peanut butter quesadillas taste even better after they’ve had a chance to cool and the warm, gooey filling has firmed up a bit. They’re perfect for a last-minute treat, quick breakfast, after-school snack, or easy weekend lunch.
You can also make these banana quesadillas a little healthier by using whole wheat tortillas and any all-natural nut butter, such as almond butter. It’s an easy, kid-friendly recipe that feels like a special treat without requiring a long list of ingredients or much time in the kitchen!
