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."
For the record, Sushi is not something I enjoy. Unless we are talking about Dessert "Sushi"--that is a totally different story!
This super easy play on sushi is made with bananas, peanut butter, and rice cereal for one seriously easy treat that kids absolutely love.
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 it fully, using a spoon if necessary to spread peanut butter over the banana.
- Coat the banana with the cereal mixture.
- Slice and serve.

Mmmm great idea: I’d totally do this with nori sheets instead of the rice cereal👌🏻

Learn to love sushi: next time you are in a sushi place ask for a hand roll with crunchy shrimp and crab with soy paper instead of nori. A Japanese sushi chef introduced me to soy paper, explaining that it was developed because many Japanese people are not that fond of seaweed.
Enjoy!

I will have to try the soy paper. I am allergic to seaweed, so this is a great thing to know 🙂 Thanks for sharing Paul.

Do you know if these would last overnight?
Kristen Chidsey
Hi Erin! The banana will get a bit brown and mushy, so best if eaten ASAP. Sorry.

Kristen Chidsey
Oh what a great idea Marjory to add coconut!
