Ingredients
Scale
Sandwich
- 1 medium banana, cut into thin rounds
- 4 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 4 slices thick white sandwich bread
Instructions
- Prepare Bread: Take each slice of bread and spread a thin, even layer of mayonnaise on one side only. This helps create a crispy golden texture when grilled.
- Apply Peanut Butter: On the opposite, plain side of each bread slice, spread peanut butter from edge to edge to ensure every bite is flavorful.
- Add Banana Slices: Arrange the banana rounds evenly on top of the peanut butter on two of the bread slices, covering them completely. Feel free to taste a slice to check sweetness.
- Assemble Sandwich: Flip the two plain peanut butter bread slices over the banana topped bread slices with the peanut butter sides facing the bananas, forming two sandwiches.
- Grill Sandwiches: Preheat a pan or griddle over medium heat. Place the sandwiches mayo-side down onto the pan, allowing them to sizzle and brown for a couple of minutes until golden. Carefully flip and grill the other side until it is equally golden and the filling is warmed through. Remove from heat and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and softness.
- Mayonnaise is used to help the bread crisp nicely without burning.
- For a healthier option, swap white bread for whole grain.
- Be careful not to overcook; grill just until golden to keep the filling warm and melty.
- Can be served as a quick breakfast, snack, or light lunch.
