Instructions

1
Lay a sheet of parchment paper on a cutting board or flat surface.
2
Slice the pitted dates open lengthwise without cutting all the way through, so they can open like a book.
3
Arrange the opened dates on the parchment paper, skin-side down and sticky-side up, in a rectangular shape. Overlap them slightly so they stick together.
4
Place another sheet of parchment paper on top and use a rolling pin to flatten the dates into a single, even sheet.
5
Remove the top layer of parchment paper and spread an even layer of peanut butter over the flattened dates.
6
Peel a banana and place it at one end of the date sheet.
7
Using the bottom parchment paper to help, tightly roll the dates and peanut butter around the banana to form a log.
8
Spread the chopped peanuts on your work surface and roll the date-banana log in the peanuts to coat the outside.
9
Slice the log into 1-inch thick rounds.
10
Serve as is, or with a side of melted chocolate for dipping.

Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Flatten each date gently with your fingers or the side of a knife to create a larger surface for spreading peanut butter.
Slice the rolls on a slight bias for a cleaner cut and more attractive presentation.
Chill the assembled roll for 15–20 minutes before slicing to prevent the banana from squishing and the dates from tearing.
Toast the chopped peanuts lightly before rolling for deeper flavor and improved texture.

Substitutions

Medjool dates → Deglet Noor dates (smaller; use 16–18 and adjust peanut butter ratio)
Roasted peanuts → sliced almonds, chopped walnuts, or unsweetened coconut flakes
Creamy peanut butter → almond butter, tahini, or sunflower seed butter
Melted chocolate → dark chocolate chips or cocoa powder mixed with coconut oil (optional dip)

Storage & make-ahead

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 weeks. No reheating needed.

Common Questions

Can I make banana date rolls ahead of time?

Yes. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days. They firm up slightly when chilled, making them easier to slice cleanly.

What's the best way to pit Medjool dates without tearing them?

Use a small sharp knife to make a slit along one side and gently remove the pit. This keeps the date intact for filling.

Can I use almond butter instead of peanut butter?

Yes. Any creamy nut butter works—almond, cashew, or sunflower seed butter will work well.

How do I prevent the banana from breaking when rolling?

Use a firm banana that's slightly underripe. Let the peanut butter-coated dates sit at room temperature for 1–2 minutes so they're slightly tacky before wrapping.

Can I freeze banana date rolls?

Yes. Freeze in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. Thaw at room temperature for 10–15 minutes.
