Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Bread (your choice of white, whole wheat, or brioche)
- 2 tablespoons Peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
- 0.5 medium Banana
- 2 medium Strawberries (thinly sliced)
- 1 tablespoon Chocolate chips (optional)
- 2 teaspoons Crushed pineapple (well-drained)
- 1 tablespoon Butter (softened)
- 1 teaspoon Honey or maple syrup (for drizzle)
- 2 tablespoons Whipped cream (optional, for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon Chopped nuts (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Spread 1 tablespoon of peanut butter evenly onto one side of each bread slice.
Slice the banana into thin rounds and layer them over the peanut butter on one slice of bread.
Add thinly sliced strawberries, a sprinkle of chocolate chips if using, and a small amount of crushed pineapple on top of the bananas.
Drizzle the honey or maple syrup lightly over the fruit layer.
Top the sandwich with the second slice of bread, peanut butter side down, to create a sandwich.
Spread a thin layer of softened butter onto the outer sides of the sandwich, ensuring even coverage for crispness when grilled.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Once hot, place the sandwich onto the skillet.
Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until the bread is golden brown and the filling is warm, pressing gently with a spatula for even cooking.
Remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it cool for 1 minute. Slice diagonally to serve.
Optionally, garnish with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of chopped nuts for that extra banana split touch.
