Dessert Wrapped. Sticky, Sweet Banana, Chilli Carob & Mint Tortillas.

Surprise!  I've decided to run the Friday Giveaway early..on Wednesday.  Because?  Well, this week is a little different because i'm participating in Vegan MoFo (Day 11). This week, we need to work as a team.  I've decided we (yes, me and you) are going to take on a simple challenge to see if WE can win a Grand Prize from Cooklet. 

The folks at Cooklet are all about social cooking.  With more and more of us food blogging and also sourcing recipes from blogs, Cooklet are launching a groovy yellow button that will allow food bloggers and cooks to be far more interactive. Exciting? Yes!

The deal is this.  I'm trying out their new feature, where you try my recipes, and then we all get to see YOUR version of my creation, by clicking on a button and uploading what YOU made. LOVE! There is a prize of $200 to the winner (woohoo) and 2 sets of 2 cookbooks.  So, how about if we try and win it together?!  If my blog and your recipe wins (the blog with the most entries grabs the prize), I give YOU $100 and I give myself $100 and you also get 2 hot-off-the-press cookbooks.

The second prize (if we win) will bag the other set of two cook books.

Please note these are NOT vegan cookbooks. I wish they were. (I didn't choose the books to be won) but they do contain vegan recipes and well, you are so inventive…ANYTHING can be veganised!

I posted about these gluten free vegan wraps in a delicious tofu scramble recipe yesterday.  It was such a treat to have gluten free wraps!  So I decided I'd have dessert for dinner and make these hand held pockets of sweet dreaminess.  Get this list of ingredients.   Peanut Butter.  Banana. Carob (posing as chocolate). Mint.  That would bring a smile to anyones face (unless you have a peanut allergy..then that last statement wouldn't apply….you could use seed butter, tahini, or vegan caramel sauce..or, perhaps even vegan cream cheese).

So how do you get to have a chance at winning 2 cookbooks AND $100?  Make my recipe and then rate it and post your picture.  Simples!

Sticky Sweet Banana, Chilli Carob,  Mint Tortillas.

This recipe makes one wrap

(whether you share it or make more is up to you!)

Organic peanut butter without sugar or sweeteners (my local store didn't have palm oil free..think of the Orang-utans…but yours might)

Carob spread. You can make chocolate spread if you like but too much chocolate gives me the jitters and I intended to eat too much! (recipe below)

1 large banana

4 mint leaves

pinch or two of chilli flakes

Carob spread

1/4 cup carob or cacao powder

1 tsp of chicory coffee or instant coffee powder (optional)

2 tbs agave syrup

1 tbs walnut oil (for flavour) or coconut oil (for flavour & health)

1 tsp pure vanilla extract

1/8 tsp pink salt

To make.  Just mix it all up until smooth and glossy.

To assemble

On one side of the wrap. Spread the PB.  Slice the banana and place on top of the PB. Drizzle (or slather.up to you) over carob (or chocolate) sauce. Chiffonade (I love that word, don't you?!) the mint and distribute over the PBBananaCarob.  Carefully fold the filled side on the wrap to the other edge then pull it back to lightly squidge the filling under the roof you've just made.  Tuck and fold in the right edge, to create a seal, and then roll up.  Then cut in half.  Drizzle with MORE sauce and then scatter a pinch or two of chilli flakes.

I also used the wraps to (attempt) to make a quick and easy recipe rendition of cinnamon rolls.  I used ground xylitol and water to make a sugar syrup, soaked raisins in hot mint tea to plump and rehydrate. Spooned the sugar mix over the surface of the wrap, scattered the raisins, dusted over powdered cinnamon and a teensy pinch of salt.  Rolled up. Cut into bite size rolls and then drizzled with more icing sugar syrup. I tried and few and they were ok (I'm comparing them to the real, spongy, yeasty, deal).  A brain wave struck and I then proceeded to spoon over copious amounts of the remaining carob sauce. Ha ha! I then ate them all.
