Crispy High-Protein Air Fryer Cinnamon Banana Roll-Ups (Low-Carb Friendly)

Title: Air Fryer Cinnamon Banana Roll-Ups

Equipment

• Air Fryer: Circulates high-speed convection heat to ensure a golden, crackly exterior without deep frying.
• Small Mixing Bowl: Enables quick, smooth blending of protein powder, cinnamon, and liquid into a spreadable paste.
• Silicone Pastry Brush / Cooking Spray: Applies a light, even layer of oil for optimal browning without excess calories.
• Tongs: Safely flips and transfers hot, delicate roll-ups without puncturing the crispy shell.

Ingredients

• 2 small low-carb tortillas (approx. 45–50 calories, 3–4g net carbs each)
• 1 medium semi-firm banana , peeled and cut into lengthwise halves or thin discs (Note: avoid overripe/mushy bananas)
• 1 scoop (30g) vanilla protein powder (whey-casein blend or plant protein works best for thickness)
• 1 to 1.5 tbsp unsweetened almond milk (adjust slightly to achieve a spreadable, icing-like paste)
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon , divided
• 1 tbsp granulated erythritol or monk fruit sweetener (optional, for dusting the exterior)
• Zero-calorie avocado oil or coconut oil cooking spray

Instructions

1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to preheat for 3 minutes for immediate, even crisping.
2. Mix the Protein Layer: In a small bowl, whisk together the vanilla protein powder, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 1 to 1.5 tablespoons of almond milk until a thick, spreadable paste forms; do not make it runny.
3. Assemble the Roll-Ups: Lay both low-carb tortillas flat on a clean surface. Evenly spread the protein paste across the center of each wrap, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
4. Add Banana and Roll: Place half of the sliced banana onto the protein layer of each wrap. Fold the sides inward slightly, then roll tightly into a cylinder.
5. Coat and Season: Lightly mist the exterior of each roll-up with oil spray. In a small dish, mix the granulated sweetener with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, then sprinkle evenly over the oiled wraps.
6. Air Fry: Place roll-ups into the air fryer basket seam-side down , leaving space between them. Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 5 to 6 minutes, flipping at the 3-minute mark, until deep golden brown and audibly crispy.
7. Rest and Serve: Use tongs to transfer to a plate. Allow them to rest for 1 to 2 minutes so the protein filling sets before slicing diagonally.
