Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Sushi

Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Sushi is the most delicious play on sushi around! Bananas are coated in peanut butter and dipped into a crunchy coating for a fun kid-friendly dessert “Sushi.” 

I love the idea of picking up Sushi and hanging out watching TV with friends, but I just don’t like and nor do my kids.

While we enjoy Avocado Tuna Salad, Fish Tacos, and Tilapia Veracruz, sushi is just not for us.

Unless we are talking about Dessert “Sushi”–that is a totally different story!

Sub out fish, seaweed, and rice for a banana, peanut butter, and crisp rice cereal, and this fun play on sushi is perfection and something that even the kids enjoy!

Key Ingredients

• Bananas: It is important to use bananas that are just ripe or slightly under-ripe for banana sushi, so the banana is firm enough to roll in the peanut butter without falling apart.
• Nut Butter: Is the glue that holds this little snack together. Use peanut butter, almond butter, or sunflower seed butter.
• Rice Cereal: This crispy rice cereal acts as the rice in this fruit sushi recipe.
• Toppings: I typically default to chopped nuts and mini chocolate chips to add to the sushi coating, but feel free to get creative. Roll in crushed pistachios, almonds, or crushed up candies like M&Ms or toffee bars. The options for banana sushi are endless.

How to Make Banana Sushi

• In a shallow dish, heat up nut butter for 30 seconds to become easier to spread.
• In another shallow dish combine cereal with toppings of your choice. 
• Dip each banana into the peanut and coat fully, using a spoon if necessary to spread peanut butter over the banana.
• Coat the banana with the cereal mixture.
• Slice and serve.
