Warm, crispy air fryer banana tortilla roll ups filled with ripe banana, creamy peanut butter, and a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar. Golden and crunchy outside with a gooey, caramelized center, they’re ready in about 15 minutes and make a quick breakfast, snack, or easy dessert.

Ingredients

  • 4 small flour tortillas (6 to 8-inch / 15 to 20 cm)
  • 2 ripe but firm bananas
  • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter (or almond butter or Nutella)
  • Avocado or coconut oil spray, or 1 tablespoon melted butter

Cinnamon Sugar Coating:

  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

For Serving:

  • Maple syrup or honey, for drizzling
  • Vanilla yogurt or whipped cream, for dipping
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3 minutes.
  2. Warm the tortillas in the microwave for 10 seconds so they are soft and easy to roll without cracking.
  3. Spread 1 tablespoon of peanut butter down the center of each tortilla, leaving a 1-inch (2.5 cm) border.
  4. Place one peeled banana half (cut the bananas in half crosswise, then lengthwise if large to fit) along the center of each tortilla, on top of the peanut butter.
  5. Fold in the sides slightly, then roll up tightly from the bottom, finishing seam side down. Dab a little peanut butter on the edge to help it seal.
  6. In a shallow dish, stir together the sugar and cinnamon. Brush or spray each roll up with oil or melted butter, then roll in the cinnamon sugar until coated.
  7. Place the roll ups seam side down in the air fryer basket in a single layer, with space between them.
  8. Air fry for 5 to 7 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crisp.
  9. Let cool for 2 minutes, since the banana filling will be hot. Slice in half if desired and serve warm with maple syrup or yogurt for dipping.

Notes

  • Bananas: Use ripe but still firm bananas so they stay in pieces and don’t turn mushy. Very soft bananas can leak while cooking.
  • Keep them sealed: Roll tightly and place seam side down. A toothpick can help hold roll ups closed if needed.
  • Don’t overcrowd: Cook in batches if your air fryer basket is small, so the roll ups crisp evenly.
  • Filling swaps: Try chocolate hazelnut spread, cookie butter, sunflower seed butter, or add a few mini chocolate chips.
  • Extra crispy: Spray the roll ups well on all sides with oil before and after coating with cinnamon sugar.
  • Oven method: Bake on a parchment-lined sheet at 400°F (200°C) for 10 to 12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  • Make ahead: Assemble up to 4 hours ahead and refrigerate, but add the cinnamon sugar and cook just before serving.
  • Storage: Best enjoyed fresh. Refrigerate leftovers for up to 1 day and reheat in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Vegan: Use vegan tortillas, oil spray instead of butter, and a nut butter of choice.
