Print Recipe

These Easy Sunbutter and Jelly Roll-Ups are a quick, nut-free snack that kids love. Made with just four simple ingredients, they come together in minutes and are perfect for lunchboxes or after-school snacks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons sunbutter (sunflower seed butter), creamy no-stir variety
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons jelly or jam (seedless strawberry recommended)
  • 1 soft flour tortilla (soft taco size)
  • Optional: a little butter or coconut oil for sealing

Instructions

  1. Prepare your tortilla: Lay one soft flour tortilla flat on a cutting board. If it feels stiff, microwave for 10 seconds until flexible but not hot.
  2. Spread the sunbutter: Using a butter knife or offset spatula, spread a thin, even layer of sunbutter across the entire surface of the tortilla, leaving about a half-inch border around the edges.
  3. Add the jelly: Spoon about 1 to 2 teaspoons of jelly onto the sunbutter layer and spread gently, trying not to mix it too much with the sunbutter.
  4. Roll it up tight: Starting from one edge, carefully roll the tortilla into a tight log, keeping even pressure. Place seam-side down to stay closed.
  5. Slice into pinwheels: Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the rolled tortilla into 1-inch pieces. You should get about 5 to 6 pinwheels per tortilla.
  6. Serve immediately or pack for later: Arrange on a plate and serve, or place in an airtight container for lunchboxes.

Notes

For best results, use fresh, soft tortillas. Warm them slightly if they are stiff. Use a thin layer of filling to prevent oozing. For lunchboxes, brush the outside of the rolled tortilla with a tiny bit of melted coconut oil before slicing to keep them soft. These roll-ups can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 hours or refrigerated for up to 24 hours. They can also be frozen (unsliced) for up to a month.
