Recipe : Breakfast Quesadillas


What do you go for when you want a breakfast that tastes a bit naughty but is actually fairly good for you? Banana pancakes? A "carrot cake" smoothie? Maybe porridge with nutella? I've got a new one for you... breakfast quesadillas.

I love the traditional quesadillas and have made them myself for lunches or dinners before now but it's only recently I've tried them for breakfast. Sweet or savoury, it's all good and definitely feels like an indulgent breakfast. Here is my suggestion for a sweet version, but you can certainly play around with the fillings to your heart's content.

Sweet Breakfast Quesadilla


Ingredients

  • 1 wholegrain tortilla wrap
  • 2 tbs nut butter (I like crunchy peanut)
  • 1 small banana, sliced
  • Handful of blueberries
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp coconut oil
Method

  1. Heat the coconut oil in a pan large enough to hold your tortilla wrap folded in half
  2. Spread the tortilla wrap with the nut butter and arrange the banana and blueberries onto one half of the wrap. Sprinkle with the cinnamon.
  3. Fold the rest of the wrap over and place in the pan. Cook on a medium heat for 5-6 minutes, until the underside is golden. Carefully flip over and cook on the other side for another 5-6 minutes until golden.
  4. Remove from the pan, cut in half and serve with a sprinkling of icing sugar, some greek yogurt and more fresh fruit as you see fit.

Another good combination is banana and strawberry with chocolate hazelnut butter!
Let me know what you think and of any other tasty fillings you come up with.
