Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece ripe banana
- 2 pieces white or whole-grain bread slices
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
Begin by peeling the ripe banana and slicing it evenly into thin rounds, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
Lay out the two slices of bread. On one of the slices, spread 1 tablespoon of peanut butter evenly from edge to edge.
On the second slice of bread, spread the remaining tablespoon of peanut butter just like the first.
Drizzle half of the honey over the peanut butter on one slice of the bread.
Arrange the banana slices evenly over the honey-covered peanut butter.
Drizzle the remaining honey over the banana slices. Then, lightly sprinkle the ground cinnamon over the bananas for added flavor.
Place the other peanut butter-spread slice of bread on top to form a complete sandwich, peanut butter side facing the bananas.
In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once the butter is melted and sizzling, place the sandwich in the skillet.
Cook the sandwich for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and slightly crispy.
Remove the sandwich from the skillet, let it cool for a minute, then cut it diagonally for easy handling. Serve immediately and enjoy your delightful banana sandwich.
