Ingredients
Scale
Bread
- 2 slices of your favorite bread (whole grain, white, or gluten-free)
Peanut Butter
- 2 tablespoons of smooth or crunchy peanut butter
Bananas
- 1 ripe banana, sliced into thin rounds
Butter
- 1 tablespoon of butter for grilling
Cinnamon (optional)
- A sprinkle of cinnamon to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Start by gathering all your ingredients and ensuring your bananas are ripe. Slice the bananas into thin rounds for easy layering.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Spread a generous layer of peanut butter on one slice of bread. Layer the banana slices on top, adding a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired. Finally, top with another slice of bread to complete the sandwich.
- Grill the Sandwich: In a skillet over medium heat, melt a tablespoon of butter. Once melted, place the sandwich in the skillet. Grill until the bread is golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and repeat on the other side.
- Slice and Serve: Once both sides are beautifully grilled, remove the sandwich from the skillet. Allow it to cool for a minute, then slice it in half and serve warm.
Notes
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh, ripe bananas and good-quality peanut butter make all the difference in flavor.
- Control the Heat: Grill on medium heat to avoid burning the bread while ensuring the filling is warm.
- Press Down: Use a spatula to gently press down on the sandwich while grilling for even cooking.
- Experiment with Breads: Don’t be afraid to try different types of bread for unique textures and flavors.
- Serve Immediately: Enjoy the sandwich fresh off the grill for the best taste and texture.
