Peanut Butter Pinwheels Recipe 3
This quick, no-bake recipe creates delicious peanut butter pinwheels, perfect for a snack or light breakfast. Flour tortillas are spread with creamy peanut butter and a touch of honey, then sprinkled with crunchy granola. Rolled tightly and sliced, these pinwheels offer a satisfying blend of sweet, salty, and textural contrasts.
Equipment
- 1 Spatula or Butter Knife For spreading ingredients
- 1 Measuring Spoon For honey
- 1 Cutting Board For preparing and slicing
- 1 Sharp Knife For slicing the pinwheels
Ingredients
Main
- 4 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
- 2 flour tortillas 8 inches
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 1/2 cup granola without raisins
Instructions
- Lay the flour tortillas flat on a clean work surface or cutting board.
- Evenly spread 2 tablespoons of creamy peanut butter over each tortilla, extending close to the edges.
- Drizzle 1 teaspoon of honey over the peanut butter on each tortilla.
- Sprinkle 1/4 cup of granola (without raisins) over the peanut butter and honey layer on each tortilla, gently pressing it down to adhere.
- Starting from one edge, tightly roll up each tortilla into a compact log.
- Using a sharp knife, slice each rolled tortilla into 6-8 pinwheels, about 1-inch thick.
- Arrange the pinwheels on a plate and serve immediately, or refrigerate for later enjoyment.
Notes
Ensure tortillas are fresh and pliable to prevent cracking during rolling; a quick 10-15 second warm in the microwave can improve flexibility. Spread the peanut butter and honey evenly to guarantee a consistent flavor in every bite. When applying granola, gently press it into the peanut butter to ensure it adheres properly. For an added dimension, consider a thin layer of sliced banana or a sprinkle of cinnamon. Use a sharp, slightly dampened knife for clean, precise cuts to maintain the pinwheel shape and presentation. Avoid overfilling, which can make rolling difficult and messy.
