Sandwich Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas, peeled and halved lengthwise
- 4 slices of whole wheat or white bread
- 4 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
- Pinch of cinnamon (optional)
For Grilling
- 1 tablespoon butter, softened
Instructions
- Prepare the Bread: Spread 1 tablespoon of creamy peanut butter on each slice of bread evenly, ensuring full coverage for balanced flavor in each bite.
- Add Bananas: Place two banana halves lengthwise on two of the peanut butter-coated bread slices. If desired, drizzle each with honey and sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon for extra sweetness and warmth.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Top each banana-topped slice with the remaining bread slices, peanut butter side facing down, creating two sandwiches.
- Butter the Outside: Spread the softened butter evenly on the outside of each sandwich to encourage golden browning during grilling.
- Heat the Pan: Warm a skillet or grill pan over medium heat to ensure even cooking without burning.
- Grill the Sandwiches: Place each sandwich in the hot pan and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and the peanut butter inside has melted into a creamy filling.
- Serve Warm: Remove from the pan, slice each sandwich in half if desired, and serve immediately for the best warm, gooey experience.
Notes
- For extra flavor and texture, add chopped nuts or chocolate chips inside the sandwich before grilling.
- Try using crunchy peanut butter as a delicious variation for added crunch.
