Sweet Breakfast Quesadillas Recipe
Pin to Pinterest

I’m warning you now, this is not a healthy pre-workout breakfast. Its more of an occasional treat for you… and maybe the little’s. Uou could make it for yourself before they wake up and then feed them a healthy breakfast of fresh fruit and whole wheat toast (make sure you hide the evidence) I promise I wont judge, we all have a stash of yummy sweets that are only for mommy. These Sweet Breakfast Quesadillas are rich, deliciou, and definitely decadent. While you can use any number of yummy combinations my favorite is this peanut butter, walnut, banana, and chocolate chip combination. Flour tortillas are best as they have the mildest flavor but feel free to use whatever flavor you like.

Ingredients:

Tortillas
Chocolate Chips
Banana’s
Walnuts
Butter
Peanut butter

Directions:

Dice or slice fruit.
In a large nonstick pan over medium heat melt butter, just to cover pan.
While pan is heating, assemble your quesadilla’s, spread peanut butter on one side and place in pan, fill with the rest of your ingredients, in my case I added banana slices, walnuts, and chocolate chips.
Fold tortilla over and brown for about 2 minutes, just until it begins to turn a golden color, flip and repeat on the other side.
Cut into smaller pieces and serve.

You are not limted to these ingredients. Create your favorite combination, like Peanut Butter and Jelly, Honey and Cinnamon, Strawberries and Cream Cheese (or Marscapone), Marshmallow fluff and Nutella spread, Shredded Apples and Cheddar Cheese… the possibliities are endless!

This recipe is similar to the Nutella Crepe I had The Crepe Vine (you might have seen on Instagram!) If you love Nutella, check out the Nutella Pop-Tarts Recipe too!
