Recipe: Peanut Butter, Banana, and Granola Wrap

When your stomach is growling for lunch and your pantry is nearly bare, I bet you can still rummage up the ingredients for this satisfying wrap. Oh, sure, you’re thinking it’s just a hum-drum peanut butter sandwich — might as well make your standard PB&J — but this is not the case. Diced bananas sweeten the situation and a big handful of granola adds that textural crunch that so many peanut butter lunches are missing. What seals the deal, though, is that this wrap is quickly seared in a skillet, which browns and crisps up the outside and warms up the inside so the peanut butter begins to melt and become wonderfully gooey. Yup, this is far from your average peanut butter sandwich — and it takes no more time to make.

This is a lunch that’s sure to please the whole family. It has the elements kids love, but feels like a jazzed-up version of other peanut butter sandwiches, which is sure to make the adults in your household happy. It’s the kind of thing that can come together in minutes, immediately after you realize it’s 2 p.m. on a Saturday and you’ve all forgotten to eat lunch — just double, triple, or quadruple the recipe as needed. And while warming the wrap in a skillet makes it extra special, it’s equally tasty left cold, so that it can be packed up and taken on the run, whether to the office or to school.
