Ingredients You’ll Need

These ingredients keep things simple but are essential for giving the High-Protein Peanut Butter Banana Roll Ups their irresistible taste, texture, and color. Each component plays its part—from the creamy smoothness to the subtle spice and protein boost.

• ½ cup creamy almond butter: Acts as the rich, nutty base that binds everything together and adds healthy fats.
• ¼ cup pumpkin puree: Brings natural moisture and a lovely seasonal flavor without overpowering the roll ups.
• ¼ cup honey: Offers just the right amount of natural sweetness to balance the spices and nut butter.
• ½ tsp vanilla extract: Enhances the overall flavor with a warm, aromatic touch.
• 1 cup blanched almond flour: Contributes to the dough’s structure while keeping it gluten-free and nutty.
• 2 scoops Simple Pumpkin Seed Vanilla Protein Powder: Provides a powerful protein punch in a mild vanilla flavor that complements the other ingredients.
• 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice: Adds seasonal spice notes that bring everything alive with cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice.
• ¼ cup white or dark chocolate chips: Melts in every bite for a sweet surprise and extra indulgence.

How to Make High-Protein Peanut Butter Banana Roll Ups

Step 1: Mix the Wet Ingredients

Start by combining the pumpkin puree, creamy almond butter, and honey in a large mixing bowl. Stir them together until the mixture is smooth and well blended. This step lays the creamy, flavorful foundation that gives the roll ups that lush, soft texture.

Step 2: Add the Dry Ingredients

Next, sprinkle the almond flour, protein powder, and pumpkin pie spice into the bowl. Stir everything together until a thick, dough-like consistency forms. This mixture will be slightly sticky but firm enough to roll into balls—your future roll ups.

Step 3: Fold in Chocolate Chips

Gently fold in the white or dark chocolate chips so they are evenly distributed throughout the dough. These little bursts of sweet chocolate add layers of flavor that make these roll ups so special.

Step 4: Shape and Spice

Using a small ice cream scoop or your hands, scoop out portions of dough and roll them into neat little balls. Place them on a tray and sprinkle an extra pinch of pumpkin pie spice on top of each ball for an aromatic, inviting finish.

Step 5: Chill and Enjoy

Pop your roll ups into the refrigerator to firm up. Chilling helps them hold their shape and makes them even more enjoyable to eat. When ready, simply grab one (or two) and savor the blend of protein-packed goodness and sweet pumpkin spice flavor!

How to Serve High-Protein Peanut Butter Banana Roll Ups

Garnishes

For an extra touch, sprinkle a dusting of cinnamon or crushed nuts over the roll ups before serving to add texture and an extra burst of aroma. A drizzle of melted dark chocolate can also elevate these into a decadent snack perfect for sharing.

Side Dishes

Pair your High-Protein Peanut Butter Banana Roll Ups with a cup of warm chai tea or black coffee for a cozy combination. Fresh fruit like apple slices or berries also makes for a refreshing complement that brightens the flavors.

Creative Ways to Present

Turn these roll ups into bite-sized energy balls on a party platter, garnished with edible flowers for a charming touch. Alternatively, serve them alongside Greek yogurt topped with granola and pumpkin seeds for a wholesome breakfast bowl packed with protein and taste.

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

Store any leftover High-Protein Peanut Butter Banana Roll Ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will stay fresh for up to 5 days, making them perfect for meal prepping or as quick grab-and-go snacks throughout the week.

Freezing

If you want to keep these roll ups longer, freeze them in a single layer on a parchment-lined tray until solid. Then transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container. Frozen roll ups can last for up to 3 months and thaw quickly at room temperature.

Reheating

These roll ups are best enjoyed chilled or at room temperature, so reheating isn’t necessary. However, if you prefer them a little softer, let them sit outside the fridge for 10 minutes before enjoying.

FAQs

Can I use peanut butter instead of almond butter?

Absolutely! Peanut butter works great and will give the roll ups a slightly stronger nutty flavor. Just make sure it’s creamy for easy mixing.

Is it okay to skip the chocolate chips?

Yes, skipping the chocolate chips won’t affect the structure of the roll ups but will reduce the sweetness and texture contrast. You can also try adding chopped nuts for crunch instead.

Can I make these roll ups vegan?

Replace honey with maple syrup or agave to keep it plant-based, and ensure your protein powder is vegan-friendly. The rest of the ingredients are naturally vegan.

Will these roll ups get hard if refrigerated for too long?

They might firm up slightly but won’t become rock hard. Letting them warm up a bit before eating brings back their chewy texture.

Can I use fresh bananas in the recipe instead of pumpkin puree?

While fresh bananas add great flavor and moisture, pumpkin puree has a thicker consistency which helps hold the dough together. If substituting, start with mashed bananas but add a little extra almond flour to compensate.
