PBJ&B with a Twist

"A Twist"

This recipe is a twist on normal peanut butter and jelly with an extra ingredient added in.  I had this inspiration for this when talking to a little girl I nanny for.  Sometimes when children are so little they have trouble handling a sandwich. This recipe may be thee most simple one I have ever done.  This particular recipe is a Peanut butter, Jelly and Banana Rollup!  Instead of bread I am substituting a gluten-free tortilla.  I was able to find a gluten-free tortilla recipe from Erika, who has her own blog called "A Little Insanity".  Halle gave me great feed back after trying these with her!  It is fun because she didn't even know they were gluten-free and can be used in many different recipes.

Heres what you will need:

2¾ Cups of Gluten Free Flour Mix
2½ teaspoons Baking Powder
1 teaspoon Salt
6 Tablespoons Palm Shortening
1 Cup Warm Water
Extra Gluten Free Flour for Rolling
Banana
Earth Balance Peanut Butter

First you will be combining the gluten-free flour with baking powder, salt & palm shortening.  Then add the 1 cup of water to this mixture.  You want to press this dough into a ball and set aside!

You want to prepare your skillet by putting it on your stove on medium heat.  Let it set there for maybe 5 minutes until turning it down to low heat and you can begin cooking.  You want to move the dough into your gluten-free flour and press it down into a disk shape.  When you move your "disk" onto the skillet you can cook it for 35-40 seconds.  There might be bubbles and that is normal.  When you see they are done you want to move them onto a moist towel or even paper towel!  It will trap in the moisture.

You now have your tortillas!  Spread your Earth Balance peanut butter, any type of jelly and slice up your bananas!
