Easy Pinwheel Sandwiches

Sandwiches are a lunch box staple, but sometimes kids want a little something different. Maybe you have the energy to whip up a tidy bento box of Pinterest-worthy animal-shaped treats. Other days, you want to reach for a recipe that won’t have you up half the night perfecting your “panda face” crustless sandwich technique. 

If you’re pressed for time or just want to lighten your lunch load, this easy pinwheels recipe is a go-to. Made by tucking sandwich fillings into a wrap, then rolling and slicing them, the end result is a handful of bite-sized pinwheels perfectly sized for little mouths. Our dual sweet and savory pinwheels provide all you need for the main meal and dessert with one simple set of instructions.  

We love this simple recipe because you can have a plate of turkey pinwheel sandwiches ready in just 5-10 minutes. Plus, they’re endlessly customizable for the whole fam. Prefer plant-based? Sub in dairy-free cheese and plant-based bacon on the savory pinwheels recipe. Can’t have oats? Use your kiddo’s favorite nut butter or cookie butter in the sweet version. This easy recipe gives you free rein to put everyone’s favorite toppings into their personal pinwheels without a lot of extra prep.

Directions

1. Place the first wrap flat on a cutting board. Spread the wrap with mayo.

2. Add turkey slices in a single layer and bacon. Top with lettuce and onion.
3. Starting with one end of the tortilla wrap, slowly roll the wrap up tightly. Spear the wrap with 6 toothpicks placed at equal distance. Cut in-between the toothpicks to form the pinwheel slices.
4. Repeat the process with the sweet wrap, spreading the oat butter first, then the yogurt or cream cheese, then layering on the berries. Place toothpicks, cut, and serve!
