Print Recipe

A quick, wholesome, and kid-friendly snack featuring peanut butter and banana wrapped in oat flatbreads, toasted to crispy perfection. Perfect for busy days or last-minute cravings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Oat flatbreads or large oat wraps
  • 3 tablespoons peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
  • 1 ripe but firm banana
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • Pinch of cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds or flaxseeds (optional)
  • Butter or coconut oil for brushing

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mash one ripe banana with 3 tablespoons of peanut butter. Add a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup if desired, and a pinch of cinnamon. Mix until combined but still slightly chunky.
  2. Place one oat flatbread on a clean surface. Spread half of the peanut butter banana mixture evenly over one side, leaving a small border around the edges.
  3. Sprinkle a teaspoon of chia or flaxseeds over the filling for extra texture and nutrition (optional).
  4. Fold the flatbread over to create a half-moon shape. Press the edges firmly with your fingers, then use a fork to crimp the edges, ensuring the filling stays inside while cooking.
  5. Warm a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly brush the outside of each pocket with melted butter or coconut oil for a golden, crispy finish.
  6. Place the sandwich pockets in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until golden brown and heated through.
  7. Transfer to a plate and let cool for a minute before slicing in half. Serve warm and enjoy immediately.

Notes

Seal the edges well with a fork to avoid leaks. Use medium heat to prevent burning. Use ripe but firm bananas to avoid soggy pockets. Butter adds flavor and browns nicely; coconut oil is a good dairy-free alternative. You can prepare pockets ahead and refrigerate for up to a day before cooking. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheat in a skillet or toaster oven.
