Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large banana
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 3 tablespoons granola
- 2 teaspoons raisins
- 2 whole strawberries (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the banana and place it on a cutting board.
Using a knife, carefully slice the banana in half lengthwise so you have two long, flat pieces.
Spread 1 tablespoon of peanut butter on each banana half. Use the back of a spoon or a butter knife for easy spreading.
Sprinkle 1.5 tablespoons of granola over each peanut-butter-coated banana half. Press the granola gently into the peanut butter so it sticks.
Add raisins on top of the granola for a burst of sweetness. Place the raisins evenly to ensure every bite has some.
If using, slice the strawberries and place them decoratively around the plate for garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Monkey Lunch!
