• 2 tablespoons Almond butter is preferred Kraft Peanut Butter
• 2 tortillas VILLAGGIO Bread or Buns, DEMSTER'S 7" Tortillas, TIAROSA Tortillas (Whole Wheat or Sprouted)
• 1/2, sliced into 1/4-inch thick rounds Banana
• 1 teaspoon Brown Sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon Cinnamon

• to taste Pinch of Salt

Instructions

1. In a small skillet over medium heat, melt 1 teaspoon of butter. Add banana slices, sprinkle with brown sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Caramelize for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and softened. Caramelizing the bananas enhances their natural sweetness.
2. Spread Kraft Peanut Butter (almond butter is preferred for a richer taste) evenly over one side of each tortilla.
3. Arrange caramelized banana slices over the peanut butter (or almond butter) on one tortilla. Sprinkle with honey almond granola for added texture and flavor.
4. Top with the other tortilla, peanut butter (or almond butter) side down.
5. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Cook quesadilla for 3-4 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until golden brown and the peanut butter (or almond butter) is melted and the tortilla is crispy.
6. Cut into wedges and serve immediately. The caramelized bananas add a gourmet touch!
7. Rationale: Caramelizing the bananas intensifies their sweetness and adds a delightful texture. Almond butter offers a richer and more complex flavor than regular peanut butter. Whole wheat or sprouted tortillas add nutritional value. Honey almond granola provides a complementary flavor and satisfying crunch. A pinch of salt balances the sweetness.
