Indulge in the ultimate comfort food makeover with this Grilled Peanut Butter and Banana Sandwich made without butter! Perfect for a quick and delicious snack or breakfast, this recipe swaps butter for a spritz of cooking spray, creating a crispy, golden exterior with less fat. Creamy peanut butter, naturally sweet banana slices, and a drizzle of honey (if you like a touch of extra sweetness) come together to create a warm, gooey filling thatβs both satisfying and nutritious. Using whole grain bread adds a hearty, wholesome element to this easy, 10-minute recipe. Whether you're looking for a healthier grilled sandwich option or a twist on a classic combo, this is the perfect guilt-free treat!
Place both slices of bread on a clean cutting board or plate.
Spread 1 tablespoon of peanut butter evenly on one side of each bread slice.
Slice the half banana into thin, even rounds and layer them on top of the peanut butter on one slice of bread.
Drizzle honey over the banana slices if using, then place the second slice of bread (peanut butter side down) on top to form a sandwich.
Lightly spritz a non-stick skillet or griddle with cooking spray and preheat it over medium heat.
Place the sandwich on the skillet and press gently with a spatula. Grill for 2-3 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and slightly crispy.
Flip the sandwich carefully with the spatula and grill the other side for another 2-3 minutes until evenly browned.
Remove the sandwich from the skillet, let it cool slightly, then slice in half and serve warm.
