Lay out the 2 slices of bread on a clean surface.
Spread 1 tablespoon of peanut butter evenly onto one side of each slice of bread.
Spread 1 tablespoon of jelly evenly on top of the peanut butter on one slice of bread.
Peel the banana and slice it into thin rounds. Evenly layer the banana slices on top of the jelly.
Carefully place the second slice of bread, peanut butter side down, on top of the banana slices to create a sandwich.
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Add the butter to the skillet and let it melt, spreading it around to cover the surface.
Place the sandwich in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, or until golden brown.
Using a spatula, carefully flip the sandwich and cook the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes, until both sides are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it cool for 1-2 minutes before slicing it in half and serving warm.
