Snack Better

Salty, Savory, sticky or sweet, healthful snacks appear in a much greater variety these days.

Peanut Butter-Banana Roll-Ups

YIELD: 2 servings

2 soft-taco size flour tortillas, white or wheat
⅓ cup smooth peanut butter
⅓ cup
dried cranberries
¼ cup honey
2 medium ripe bananas

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.

2. Place tortillas on baking sheet.

3. Stir together peanut butter, cranberries, and honey until blended.

4. Spread peanut butter mixture over tortillas to within ½" of edges.

4. Place peeled banana on edge of each tortilla; roll up. Place each roll-up seam side down on a piece of aluminum foil*.

5. Wrap foil around roll-ups, sealing edges all around, and place on baking sheet. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until filling is warm.

* It is not necessary to heat these roll-ups; for a lunch box, simply wrap each roll-up in foil or plastic wrap to transport.

Variations: Substitute chopped mixed dried fruit for cranberries, or sprinkle roasted peanut halves, toasted coconut or chocolate chips over peanut butter before adding banana
