I think I can safely say that part of my life’s work has been dedicated to finding different vehicles to eat nut butter on. As a child I was always a fan of the classics the PB&J, PB& Fluff and PB & Banana sandwiches, but as I’ve grown, I’ve certainly branched out into putting peanut and almond butter on really anything that I can think of.

Rice cakes, smoothies, celery, bananas, sandwiches, yogurt, granola, spoons, have been my recent rotation of nut butter vehicles, but really my work has just begun.

This latest and (perhaps greatest?) is a spectacular mashup of a childhood classic – the PB & Banana sandwich (plus strawberries) – remixed quesadilla style. You can rock this bad boy for breakfast, lunch or with a drizzle of chocolate, call it dessert. Bonus – because really, there are so many amazing nut butter and fruit combos, you can use this breakfast quesadilla as a template and let your imagination go wild.

  1. Apple + Almond Butter + Cinnamon
  2. Banana + Chocolate Chips + Peanut Butter
  3. Strawberries + Blueberries + Almond Butter
  4. Coconut + Almond Butter + Chocolate Chips
  5. Blackberries + Almond Butter

I guess the real question is what can’t you do with this sweet quesadilla?

  3. Okay these look insane and gorgeous and delicious and are somehow still healthy! Not even sure how that happened, but I do know I’m making these next time we have guests for breakfast (all the time).

  7. My all-time favorite was….PEEBS N J!!! Dahhh. And I agree with Erin – this hits all 3 meals for me lmao maybe in one day…

  13. My favorite combo was peanut butter, Nutella and strawberries! I used to eat it in the form of sandwiches or toast! That combo is just amazing!

  15. You KILL it with the breakfast game. Seriously..these look so great! I might have to play around with the ingredients (hello nutella!). Thanks for the recipe and inspiration!

  17. Oh yum! I was a typical pb and j sandwich type of kid, but I actually frequently replaced the jelly with strawberries or raspberries.

  18. Soooo for whatever reason, I never ate PB & J growing up. Just PB. Maybe my dad didn’t like PB & J so he never made it for us, or we tried it once and didn’t like it. Either way, I love the combo now! And def PB & banana now too.

    But I honestly think my favorite sandwich growing up was when my mom would make us grilled cheese 😀

    p.s. these photos are stunning <3

  19. They look amazing! However, confession to make – I hate bananas!! I have tried so hard to love them, but can’t handle the smell! In saying that, bananas in banana bread or smoothies are amazing! So my childhood favourite was probably PB and honey instead! But definitely crunchy PB!

  20. We were never huge PB&J people, more of a PB, banana, & honey family. So these are right up my alley! I have to admit that my favorite nut butter vessel is a spoon – and I’m not ashamed.

  21. This totally reminds me of a childhood recipe I loved. I used to add peanut butter to a tortilla, warm it up in the microwave so the PB got all gooey and the tortilla was warmed and then add in a frozen banana with a drizzle of honey. It was like a hot and cold explosion in your mouth, Gotta love breakfast quesadillas 🙂
