Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 4 slices soft sandwich bread (white, whole wheat, or brioche) or 4 small flour tortillas
  • 1/3–1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (or almond, cashew, or sunflower seed butter)
  • 1/3 cup jelly or jam (grape, strawberry, raspberry, or your favorite)
  • Optional fillings: thin banana slices, sliced strawberries, a drizzle of honey, chia seeds, crushed peanuts
  • Optional finishing: a light dusting of cinnamon sugar or a quick pan toast with butter

Method
 

  1. Prep the base: If using bread, trim the crusts. Gently roll each slice flat with a rolling pin or a clean glass until thin and flexible. If using tortillas, you can warm them for 10 seconds to make rolling easier.
  2. Spread the peanut butter: Add a thin, even layer to each slice or tortilla, going right to the edges. This creates a barrier that keeps the jelly from soaking through.
  3. Add the jelly: Spread a light layer over the peanut butter. Don’t overdo it—too much jelly makes rolling slippery and messy.
  4. Layer extras (optional): Add a few fruit slices or a sprinkle of chia seeds. Keep the pieces small and flat so the roll stays tight.
  5. Roll it up: Starting from the short edge, roll firmly but gently into a tight log. Press the seam to seal.
  6. Slice: Use a sharp knife to cut each roll into 3–4 bite-size pieces. Wipe the blade between cuts for clean spirals.
  7. Optional finish: For a warm treat, melt a little butter in a skillet and toast the roll-ups seam-side down first, then turn until golden all over. Dust lightly with cinnamon sugar, if you like.
