Print Recipe

These Easy Sunflower Butter & Jelly Pinwheels are a quick, nut-free snack that comes together in under ten minutes. Made with simple ingredients like tortillas, sunflower butter, and jam, they’re perfect for school lunches, after-school snacks, and picnics.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large flour tortillas (8-inch or 10-inch)
  • ½ cup sunflower butter
  • ¼ cup fruit jam or jelly
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Optional: cinnamon, honey, mini chocolate chips, flaky sea salt

Instructions

  1. Prep your sunflower butter: Scoop ½ cup of sunflower butter into a small bowl. Add 1 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice and stir until fully combined.
  2. Warm the tortillas: Place two large flour tortillas on a plate and microwave them for 10-15 seconds, just until they’re warm and pliable.
  3. Spread the sunflower butter: Lay one warm tortilla flat on your cutting board. Using a butter knife or offset spatula, spread half of the sunflower butter mixture evenly across the entire surface of the tortilla, leaving about a ½-inch border around the edges.
  4. Add the jam: Spoon 2 tablespoons of jam onto the sunflower butter layer. Spread it gently over the sunflower butter, again leaving a small border.
  5. Roll it tight: Starting from one edge, roll the tortilla tightly into a log. Use your fingers to keep the roll firm as you go, tucking the edge under as you roll.
  6. Wrap and chill: Wrap the rolled tortilla tightly in plastic wrap or parchment paper. Twist the ends like a candy wrapper to secure it. Place it in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes (or up to overnight).
  7. Slice the pinwheels: Unwrap the chilled tortilla log and place it on a cutting board. Using a sharp serrated knife, slice the log into 1-inch thick rounds.
  8. Arrange and serve: Place the pinwheels on a plate or pack them directly into lunchboxes. They’re best at room temperature.

Notes

Mix lemon juice into sunflower butter to prevent oxidation (green color). Warm tortillas before rolling to prevent cracking. Chill before slicing for cleaner cuts. Use a serrated knife for best results. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
