Ingredients

  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons butter or coconut oil
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella or dairy-free cheese alternative
  • 0 Optional: Sliced bananas or chopped nuts for added texture

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  2. Lay out two tortillas on a clean surface. Spread half of the cream cheese mixture evenly across each tortilla.
  3. Scatter fresh blueberries over the cream cheese layer on both tortillas. If desired, add slices of banana or a sprinkle of chopped nuts for a crunchy element.
  4. Top each with a second tortilla to create two quesadilla sandwiches.
  5. In a large skillet, melt the butter (or coconut oil) over medium heat. Once hot, place the first quesadilla in the skillet and reduce the heat to medium-low.
  6. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side or until golden brown and crisp. Carefully flip using a spatula and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side.
  7. Once both sides are crispy, remove the quesadilla from the skillet and repeat the process for the second quesadilla.
  8. Allow the quesadillas to cool slightly before slicing them into wedges.
  9. Serve warm, drizzled with extra honey or maple syrup, and topped with additional blueberries or banana slices if desired.

💡 Chef's Notes

For a vegan option, substitute cream cheese with a dairy-free alternative and use coconut oil.
