Peanut Banana Breakfast Pizza

This breakfast pizza combines the sweetness of bananas with creamy peanut butter and the crunch of sunflower seeds for a cozy and satisfying start to your day. It comes together quickly and easily, making it a perfect option for busy mornings when you want something filling but fuss-free.

I first tried this recipe when I was hunting for a breakfast that felt indulgent yet wholesome. It quickly became a morning favorite because it’s both nourishing and delightfully easy to make.

Ingredients

• Large frozen tortilla: provides a crispy base once baked, choose a brand with minimal preservatives for best texture
• Natural peanut butter: gives creamy richness and protein, look for one with just peanuts and no added sugars or oils
• Banana, diced: adds natural sweetness and softness, ripe but firm bananas work best so they hold up in the oven
• Raisins: sprinkle extra sweetness and chewy texture, opt for plump, unsulphured raisins if possible
• Raw sunflower seeds: contribute a nutty crunch and healthy fats, try to find fresh ones for maximum flavor
• Cinnamon: a few dashes boost warmth and aroma, use good quality ground cinnamon for the best taste

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat the oven:

Get your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit or 190 Celsius to ensure the tortilla crisps evenly when baked. This step is key to avoid soggy results later.

Prepare the tortilla:

Place the frozen tortilla directly on a baking sheet, there is no need to thaw it beforehand, baking straight from frozen helps maintain the shape and gives a better crispy texture.

Spread peanut butter:

Evenly coat the surface of the tortilla with natural peanut butter. Aim for a smooth, thin layer to cover every bite without overpowering the other flavors.

Add banana and toppings:

Scatter the diced banana pieces all over the peanut butter layer. Then sprinkle raisins and raw sunflower seeds for sweet and crunchy contrast.

Sprinkle cinnamon:

Lightly dust the entire pizza with a few dashes of cinnamon. This simple seasoning lifts the overall flavor with warm, fragrant notes.

Bake the pizza:

Place the prepared pizza in the oven and bake for 7 to 10 minutes. Watch carefully as the tortilla edges crisp up and the toppings warm evenly.

Cool and serve:

Remove from the oven and let the pizza cool for a few minutes. This allows the peanut butter to firm up slightly so it does not run when sliced. Cut into slices and enjoy while still warm.

My favorite part of this pizza is the way the warm banana softens just enough to meld with the peanut butter, while the sunflower seeds keep every bite interesting. It reminds me of mornings when my family sat around the table, savoring slow starts even on hectic days.

Storage Tips

This breakfast pizza is best enjoyed fresh to keep the tortilla crisp and toppings at their optimal texture. If you have leftovers, store them in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to one day. Reheat gently in a low oven or toaster oven to bring back some crispiness without melting the peanut butter completely.

Ingredient Substitutions

You can swap the tortilla for a whole wheat or gluten-free option depending on your dietary preferences. Almond or cashew butter can replace peanut butter for a different nutty flavor. Chopped dates or dried cranberries offer nice alternatives to raisins. Pumpkin seeds or chopped nuts can be used instead of sunflower seeds for a crunch.

Serving Suggestions

Pair this breakfast pizza with a cup of your favorite coffee or a glass of fresh orange juice for a complete morning meal. A dollop of yogurt or a drizzle of honey over the top can add an extra layer of creaminess or sweetness if desired.
