- Step 2: Roll each piece of bread with a rolling pin until it is flat and about 1/8 inch thick.
- Step 3: Cut the flattened bread into long, thin strips—about 2 strips per slice.
- Step 4: Spread a layer of creamy almond butter on each bread strip.
- Step 5: For almond butter and jelly sushi, spread a thin layer of your favorite jelly over the almond butter. For almond butter, banana, and honey sushi, layer mashed banana over the almond butter and drizzle with honey.

Tips & Variations
- Use a gluten free bread that is fresh and soft for easier rolling without cracking.
- Try substituting peanut butter or sunflower seed butter for almond butter if preferred.
- For extra crunch, add thinly sliced apples or crunchy granola inside before rolling.
- If your banana is too ripe, mash it with a fork to spread smoothly without lumps.
Storage
Store the almond butter sushi rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To keep the bread from becoming soggy, pack them just before eating if possible. Reheat slightly at room temperature or enjoy chilled.

FAQs
Can I use regular bread instead of gluten free?
Yes, regular bread works well if you do not require a gluten free option. Just make sure to use soft bread for easier rolling.
How can I keep the rolls from falling apart?
Rolling the bread tightly and placing the rolls snugly side by side helps them hold their shape. Using fresh bread and spreading ingredients evenly also aids in stickiness.
