I'm a fan of peanut butter and banana sandwiches so the concept of this recipe made complete sense to me. In executing it, I decided not to use the powdered sugar since my peanut butter was plenty sweet already. I also found it easier to drizzle honey over the peanut butter instead of mixing the two ingredients together. My conclusion is that this recipe tastes super good. Frying the tortilla made the outside crispy with an inside that was gooey and warm, but still banana-fresh. It took me about 5 minutes from start to finish. (This recipe was submitted in 2005. It was tested and photographed in November 2014.)





How To Make A Peanut Butter Banana Quesadilla

Mix peanut butter, powdered sugar (if desired) and 1/2 of the honey. Spread on half of a flour tortilla and lay banana on top. Drizzle remaining honey on top.

Fold tortilla over in half and grill or warm in a skillet or quesadilla maker until warm.

If desired, garnish with additional honey.


Cooking Notes:

Before frying my quesadilla, I folded it and then spread a very light smear of butter over the exposed half. Then I flipped the quesadilla into a hot frying pan set to medium-high. As the bottom fried to golden brown (about 40 seconds), I spread butter on the top side. I then flipped it and cooked the other side to golden brown.

The recipe suggests serving the quesadilla with additional honey. I'd skip that. The quesadilla is already sweet enough and a garnish of honey makes it difficulty to eat with your hands.


This warm quesadilla is a great way to start the morning with its sweet peanut buutter spread, banana and gooey honey!

This was SO DELICIOUS! I've made it a bajillion times in the last month! ok maybe not that many... but close! I like to leave out the powdered sugar, and add some extra crunchy granola instead. It gives it an amazing texture with the smoothness of the banana & pb. Thanks for the great recipe!
