1 Ingredients

Qty	Item
2 slices 80 g	Sourdough Bread
2 tbsp 32 g	Creamy Peanut Butter
1 medium 118 g	Ripe Banana
1 tsp 5 ml	Honey
1/4 tsp 0.5 g	Ground Cinnamon
1/2 tbsp 7 g	Unsalted Butter

2 Instructions

Step 1. Spread a generous layer of creamy peanut butter onto one side of each bread slice.

Step 2. Peel and slice the banana into 1/4 inch rounds, then layer them evenly over one of the peanut butter-covered slices.

Step 3. Drizzle the honey over the banana slices and sprinkle with a pinch of ground cinnamon.

Step 4. Top with the second slice of bread, peanut butter side down, to close the sandwich.

Step 5. Melt butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwich in the pan and toast for 2-3 minutes per side until the bread is golden brown and the filling is warm and gooey.

Step 6. Slice diagonally and serve immediately while warm.

·
Use slightly overripe bananas for maximum natural sweetness and a softer texture.
·
Add a tiny pinch of flaky sea salt to the peanut butter to make the sweet and savory flavors pop.
·
For a crunchier version, use extra crunchy peanut butter or add a handful of granola inside the sandwich before closing.
·
If you want to save calories, you can toast the bread in a toaster and skip the buttering/skillet step.

? Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this sandwich vegan?

Yes, simply substitute the honey with maple syrup or agave nectar and use a vegan butter or coconut oil for toasting the bread.

What is the best type of bread to use?

Sourdough provides a nice tang that balances the sweetness, but whole wheat or thick-cut brioche are also excellent choices for a sturdier sandwich.

How do I prevent the banana from turning brown?

Since this sandwich is served warm immediately after assembly, browning isn't usually an issue. If preparing for a lunchbox, lightly brush the banana slices with lemon juice.

Can I make this in an air fryer?

Yes! Assemble the sandwich, lightly butter the outside, and air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 3-5 minutes per side until crispy.
