Ingredients

- A little butter or oil for toasting, if needed
How to Make Dark Chocolate Muesli Quesadilla
1. Add the peanut butter
Spread 2 tablespoons of peanut butter evenly over one half of the tortilla.
Leave the other half empty so you can fold the quesadilla easily.
2. Add the filling
Slice half a banana into thin pieces and arrange them over the peanut butter.
Next, sprinkle Health Ninja Dark Chocolate Muesli evenly over the banana.
Add the grated dark chocolate on top for an extra chocolatey flavour.
3. Add a little cinnamon
Sprinkle a small pinch of cinnamon over the filling.
You only need a little to add a warm, slightly spiced flavour.
4. Fold and toast
Fold the empty half of the tortilla over the filling to form a half-moon shape.
Heat a non-stick pan over low to medium heat.
Place the quesadilla on the pan and toast for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla turns golden and crisp.
Press it gently with a spatula while cooking so the filling warms up nicely.
5. Slice and serve
Once crisp and golden, transfer the quesadilla to a plate. Let it cool for a minute, then cut it into triangles.
Serve it warm and enjoy the combination of crispy tortilla, creamy peanut butter, soft banana and crunchy chocolate muesli.
