Breakfast Pizza: Peanut Butter Banana
This gluten-free, vegan breakfast pizza features the sweet flavor of cooked bananas with warm peanut butter spread on a crispy crust.
Pizza for breakfast! And I don’t mean the cold leftover pizza my husband is fond of having on Sunday mornings.
Why Breakfast Pizza?
Elvis and my lovely daughter inspired this recipe. I’ve heard the king of rock and roll was fond of peanut butter and banana sandwiches, and my daughter loves them.
However, as much as I’d like to be the mom who keeps a steady supply of homemade gluten-free bread on hand, I can’t seem to master that level of perfection. So, instead, I try to add variety to my daughter’s diet by getting creative with store-bought items that pass muster.
Since gluten-free bagel sandwiches are a common item in my daughter’s lunch bag, I wanted to come up with something different for breakfast. Thus, the peanut butter banana breakfast pizza was born!
About the Ingredients
This breakfast pizza is specially made for the first meal of the day—featuring:
- Warm, gooey peanut butter – My daughter loves Teddie Peanut Butter.
- Sweet bananas – Try to use perfectly ripe bananas, ones with brown speckles that are easy to peel.
- Raisins – Go organic if you can. Grapes are among the “Dirty Dozen“—the top 12 fruits and vegetables with the most pesticide residues.
- Crunchy sunflower seeds – It’s nice to have a bit of texture and some additional nutrients.
- Fragrant cinnamon – We prefer Ceylon cinnamon.
- Tortilla – Look for tortillas with minimal ingredients.
Food for Life Brown Rice Tortillas don’t roll very well, but they make excellent thin pizza crusts.
I was concerned the natural peanut butter would become too runny when heated, but spreading it on a frozen tortilla helped it set before it was placed in the oven.
The sweet flavor of cooked bananas, chewy raisins, and the crunch of sunflower seeds combined with warm peanut butter on a crispy crust is a delicious way to start the day! See Pizza-Making Tools for additional tips.

Do the tortillas have to be frozen? This looks great! I will be trying this tomorrow morning with my kiddos!
The frozen tortillas make spreading the peanut butter easier and provide a little extra baking time so the bananas get nice and warm and sweet – but you could try it with unfrozen and see how it goes. 🙂
My kiddo would love this!
How could I do this in an oven? Temp and time?
(thanks!)
Hi Natasha – I’m guessing here because I’ve only made this in my toaster oven, but I would say place the pizza on the middle lower rack in a preheated oven at 400 degrees F and bake for 6-8 minutes. Keep a close eye on the crust and adjust the cook time for when the edges begin to turn brown. Also, a pizza screen will likely yield better results vs. a pan. Hope this helps! Let us know how it goes!
