Ingredients
Scale
Quesadilla Base
- 2 small flour tortillas (whole wheat or regular)
Filling
- ¼ cup fresh blueberries (or frozen, thawed)
- 2 tbsp cream cheese or nut butter (almond, peanut, or sunflower butter)
- 1 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)
- ½ tsp cinnamon (optional, for flavor boost)
For Cooking
- 1 tsp butter or coconut oil (for crisping the tortilla)
Instructions
- Prepare the spread: In a small bowl, mix cream cheese or your choice of nut butter with honey or maple syrup, if you want extra sweetness. Stir until smooth and well combined.
- Spread the mixture: Evenly spread the prepared cream cheese or nut butter mixture over one of the tortillas, making sure to cover the surface completely.
- Add the blueberries: Sprinkle fresh blueberries evenly over the cream cheese or nut butter layer to ensure each bite has a burst of fruit.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon: If using, lightly sprinkle cinnamon over the blueberries for added warmth and flavor depth.
- Assemble the quesadilla: Place the second tortilla on top of the layered one, pressing lightly to seal the edges and keep the filling inside.
- Heat the skillet: Warm butter or coconut oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat to prepare for toasting the quesadilla.
- Cook the quesadilla: Place the quesadilla in the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until both sides are golden brown and crispy.
- Cool and serve: Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and allow it to cool for a minute so the filling sets slightly, making it easier to slice.
- Slice and enjoy: Cut the quesadilla into wedges and serve warm, optionally adding your favorite toppings like extra honey, yogurt, or nuts.
Notes
- Use whole wheat tortillas for added fiber and a healthier option.
- Frozen blueberries can be used if fresh are not available; just thaw them completely before use.
- Replace cream cheese with almond, peanut, or sunflower butter for a nutty twist and extra protein.
- Honey or maple syrup is optional and can be adjusted based on desired sweetness.
- For a dairy-free alternative, choose coconut oil and nut butters.
- Serve with Greek yogurt or a drizzle of extra honey for enhanced flavor.
