Peanut Butter Breakfast Rollups




Alrighty readers, here's that recipe I promised you.  It's a bit odd but I think it's pretty darn amazing.

There are a lot of people out there who love breakfast.  My husband is one of them.  He'll eat breakfast any time of day and I'm pretty sure he believes that breakfast is the best meal.  I am not one of those people.  I don't like cereal all that much, I'm not the biggest fan of eggs after eating them for a year straight on some crazy diet years ago, and all the "fun" breakfast foods like dougnuts and waffles and pancakes are not the healthiest things so I try to stay away from those.  But, I do love this recipe.  It packs in some protein and a little fruit to tide me over until lunchtime. 

I can't take credit for any of this breakfasty goodness, that goes to Ms. Betty Crocker herself.  I didn't really adapt anything in this recipe other than the fact that I got rid of those pesky measurements.  The original recipe can be found hereWho needs measurements anyhow?

Spread peanut butter on a whole wheat tortilla.  I had never had a whole wheat tortilla until I made this and I assure you it tastes just fine; you don't really taste the tortilla anyhow.  The first time I made this I measured out 2 TB. of peanut butter.  It ended up being more than I would have put on the tortila if I hadn't measured so I no longer measure.  See, measurements are totally unnecessary.  



Drizzle on some honey.  Honestly I just drizzle it until I'm satisfied with the little pattern I made, but whatever works for you.  Also, I noticed that when I purchased honey the kind in the bear container was the same prices as the kinds in the non-bear containers.  Now I want to know who in their right mind would buy honey NOT in the bear container?  It's the same price, same amount, and it's just amazing because how many times do you get to buy foods packaged in animal shaped plastic?  Not very often my friends, not very often.  Okay, I'm sorry, I'm getting distracted.  



Ok, so you've slathered on the peanut butter and made a pretty honey design.  Now you slice a banana and lay the slices in a row in the center of the tortilla.  My pictures show a whole banana rolled up which you could also do, but it doesn't work/taste as good in my opinion.

Sprinkle on some mini chocolate chips.  You could leave the chips out; you really don't taste them that much but just a few give a little crunch and a different flavor.



Once you have your goodies in there, roll the tortilla up with the sliced bananas in the middle and enjoy!  Thanks Betty!! You rocker! Get it? Betty Crocker? Rocker?!?  Nevermind.....
