Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 Ripe banana
- 2 tablespoons Peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 2 slices White or whole wheat sandwich bread
- 1 tablespoon Salted butter (optional, for toasting)
Instructions
Peel the ripe banana and slice it into thin, round pieces, approximately 1/4 inch thick. Set aside.
Lay the two slices of bread on a flat surface. Spread 1 tablespoon of peanut butter evenly across one side of each slice of bread.
Drizzle 1 teaspoon of honey over the peanut butter on one slice of bread for added sweetness.
Arrange the banana slices in a single layer on top of the honey-drizzled peanut butter slice.
Place the other slice of bread, peanut butter side down, on top of the banana slices to form a sandwich.
For a classic version, serve as is. For a toasted version, heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter.
Place the sandwich in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and slightly crisp.
Remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it cool for 1-2 minutes. Slice in half and serve warm or at room temperature.
