🥜 Peanut Butter Banana Pita Melt

A warm, gooey, sweet-and-savory snack (or light breakfast) made in minutes! Perfectly crisped pita filled with creamy peanut butter, banana slices, and melty dark chocolate—bacon optional, but highly recommended.

🧾 Ingredients

1 slice Joseph’s whole wheat pita
(Flax, Oat Bran & Whole Wheat recommended)
1 tsp salted butter
½ banana, sliced
2 tbsp peanut butter
1 tbsp dark chocolate chips
(Optional) ½ slice freshly cooked bacon, crumbled

👩‍🍳 Instructions

Prep (if using bacon):
If you're adding bacon, cook and crumble it before starting Step 1.
Melt the Butter:
In a non-stick skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Assemble the Pita:
- Spread peanut butter over the entire pita.
- Arrange banana slices over half of the pita.
- Sprinkle chocolate chips over the bananas.
- (Optional) Add crumbled bacon.
- Fold the pita in half, taco-style, to enclose the filling.
Toast the Pita:
- Place the stuffed pita into the skillet.
- Toast each side for 1–2 minutes, until lightly golden and crisped.
Cool & Serve:
Let cool for about a minute before enjoying—it will be hot and gooey inside!

💡 Notes & Tips

Pita Size: Joseph’s pitas are on the thinner side, which crisps up beautifully. If using a thicker pita, press it slightly to help it toast evenly.
Peanut Butter Substitutes: Almond butter, sunflower seed butter, or Nutella also work great.
For Extra Sweetness: Add a drizzle of honey or a dusting of cinnamon before folding.

🥓 Optional Add-Ins

Crumbled bacon for a salty-sweet combo
A pinch of sea salt on the banana for flavor contrast
Mini marshmallows for a dessert-like treat

🍽️ Perfect Pairings

A glass of cold milk or a hot latte
Greek yogurt with berries
A side of fresh fruit for balance

❓FAQs

Can I use a tortilla instead of pita?
Yes! A whole wheat tortilla makes a thinner, crispier melt—just be gentle when flipping.

Can I make this ahead of time?
It's best enjoyed fresh, but you can pre-assemble and refrigerate it, then toast when ready to eat.
