My Single-Serve Strawberry Banana Chocolate Pistachio Roll is a mouthful—in all the best ways. Think fluffy, yeast-free banana bread dough swirled with a rich, buttery filling made from grassfed butter, cacao powder, date sugar, and chopped pistachios. Add in juicy fresh strawberries and finish it all with a silky chocolate pistachio butter ganache. It’s pure heaven. Perfect when you’re craving something extra special, but don’t want a complicated recipe or mountains of leftovers.

I’ve been loving making all kinds of pastries recently, rolls, croissants, cruffins, muffins, all the warm, flaky, and cozy goodness that makes you feel like you just stepped into your favorite coffee shop. However, there’s something so comforting about bringing that bakery magic into your own kitchen, especially when you get to choose your own wholesome, feel-good ingredients (not that theres anything wring with going to a bakery and getting a pastry out either. We also love that!).

Add a homemade latte and one of these chocolate-stuffed rolls and I’m basically set for life… or at least until my next meal. But truly, this is the whole package, fluffy and gooey from the chocolatey filling, layered with textures and flavors throughout, and a silky-smooth pistachio ganache to top everything off.

And the ingredients? Chef’s kiss. We’re talking gut-friendly einkorn flour, healthy fats from grass-fed butter and pistachios, antioxidant-rich cacao, fiber-filled banana, and fresh strawberries. Plus, it’s naturally sweetened with dates — no refined sugar needed. Needless to say… I’m obsessed.

How To Make

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix together the dough ingredients until a dough forms. Lightly flour a cutting board, then knead the dough by hand for 1 minute.
Roll the dough out into a ¼-inch thick rectangle between two pieces of parchment paper. (Tip: lightly spray the parchment with nonstick spray so the dough doesn’t stick.)
In a separate bowl, mix the filling ingredients. Chop the pistachios and strawberries. Spread the filling evenly over the dough, then top with the chopped pistachios and strawberries.
Slice the dough into strips. Roll up one strip, then keep rolling the others around it to create a layered spiral.
Place the roll on the baking sheet and bake for about 15 minutes, or until puffed and golden.
While it’s baking, melt the chocolate and pistachio butter together and stir until smooth. Drizzle over the warm roll and sprinkle with extra pistachios. Enjoy warm!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this dairy-free?
Yes! Just use a dairy-free butter alternative and make sure your chocolate is dairy-free as well.
What is einkorn flour, and can I substitute it?
Einkorn is an ancient grain with lower gluten levels and a slightly nutty flavor. You can easily substitute with white whole wheat flour or all-purpose flour. For a gluten free version, try an all purpose 1:1 gluten free flour or oat flour, but the texture may change slightly.
Can I prep this ahead of time?
Definitely. Assemble the roll, cover tightly, and refrigerate overnight. Bake fresh the next day and add the ganache when it’s done.
Is this Strawberry Banana Chocolate Pistachio Roll Healthy?
‘Healthy’ is a verrrry subjective term. However, this recipe is made with only whole food ingredients, is naturally sweetened with banana and date sugar, and uses whole grain einkorn flour. You’re getting fiber, antioxidants, and healthy fats all in one roll.
