If there’s one all time loved recipe on Weelicious it’s Banana Dog Bites. I think I first made these 6 or 7 years ago and they’re still an all time classic. What’s not to love about a recipe that only uses 3 ingredients, take 2 minutes or less to prepare and looks like such fun.
Even though there are only three ingredients, there’s tons of variations you can use. I like using spelt or half whole wheat half corn tortillas I get at Trader Joes, but you can also use all white flour tortillas or something with seeds inside. The most important part is getting something that’s really flexible. Corn could work, but they would need to be really fresh. Using lavash is a fun idea too!

We'll email this post to you, so you can come back to it later!
There’s also plenty of variations with nut butters. You can use peanut, almond, cashew, soy or sun butter. You could also use whipped cream cheese in a pinch. If you’re using large tortillas and bananas it makes about 8-10 pieces which look super cute in a bento style lunchbox. Serve these with some raw veggies and maybe a little snack like a Vegan Cowgirl Cookie or Heart-Shaped Rice Crispy Treat and you’ve got a vegetarian meal I’m betting your kids will love!

so simple. must try these!
My youngest is allergic to peanut butter so we used nutella. They are so good. My kids loved them. I was even snacking on them as well. 🙂

Can’t send them to school with my grand-daughter…they are nut free because of an allergy. But these would make a great after Kindergarten snack!
Thank you. I’m going to try these with Nutella.
I have made these and left them out at room temperature for several hours and they held up well. I have not tried freezing them. They are super easy to make and I prefer making these in the morning if it is for school lunch instead of the night before.
Also curious as to whether they freeze and/or refrigerate well…
This is a simple recipe, but a great idea. I hadn’t thought of using a whole wheat tortilla, and he loved it!
Do they taste ok if refrigerated over night?
