Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Bread slices
- 2 tablespoons Peanut butter
- 1 medium Banana
- 1 teaspoon Butter (optional, for toasting)
- 1 teaspoon Honey (optional)
Instructions
Place the two slices of bread on a clean surface, such as a cutting board or plate.
Spread 1 tablespoon of peanut butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread.
Peel the banana and slice it into thin, round pieces about 1/8- to 1/4-inch thick.
Layer the banana slices over the peanut butter on one slice of bread. Ensure they are evenly distributed for a consistent taste.
If desired, drizzle 1 teaspoon of honey over the banana slices for extra sweetness.
Place the second slice of bread, peanut butter side down, on top of the banana-covered slice to form the sandwich.
For a cold sandwich, cut in half and serve immediately. For a toasted sandwich, follow these steps:
Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat and spread 1/2 teaspoon of butter on the outside of one bread slice.
Place the sandwich in the skillet, buttered side down, and spread the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of butter on the top slice.
Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and toasted. Use a spatula to gently flip the sandwich.
Remove from the skillet, cut in half, and serve warm.
