Sandwich Ingredients
- 1 medium banana, cut into thin rounds
- 4 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 4 slices thick white sandwich bread
- Prepare Bread: Lay out the bread slices on a flat surface and spread a thin, even layer of mayonnaise on one side of each slice to help achieve a crispy grilling surface.
- Apply Peanut Butter: On the un-mayo sides of two bread slices, spread creamy peanut butter thoroughly from edge to edge to guarantee each bite is flavorful.
- Add Banana Slices: Arrange the banana rounds evenly over the peanut butter on those two pieces of bread ensuring good coverage for natural sweetness with every bite.
- Assemble Sandwich: Place the remaining peanut butter-only slices on top of the banana-covered slices, peanut butter side against the bananas to create two complete sandwiches.
- Grill Sandwiches: Heat a pan or griddle over medium heat. Place the sandwiches mayo-side down onto the hot surface. Grill for 2-3 minutes until the bread turns golden and crispy, then flip and grill the other side similarly until golden and the filling is warmed through.
Notes
- Use ripe bananas for maximum sweetness and softer texture.
- Mayonnaise helps achieve a perfectly crispy and golden exterior when grilled.
- Adjust the thickness of the peanut butter layer based on your preference for richness.
- Serve warm for the best texture and flavor.
- Can substitute white bread with whole wheat for extra fiber.
