How to Make Grilled Peanut Butter Banana

Ingredients:

1 medium banana, cut into thin rounds
4 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
4 slices thick white sandwich bread

Directions:

Spread a thin layer of mayo just on one side of each piece of bread. Try to keep it even—doesn’t have to be perfect.
Grab the sides with no mayo and slather each with your peanut butter. Go from edge to edge for full flavor hits.
Lay those banana rounds on top of the peanut butter, covering two slices totally. Taste some if you want.
Take the plain peanut butter bread and flip it over onto the banana-topped ones, keeping peanut butter sides touching the bananas. Now you’ve got two sandwiches ready to go.
Get your pan or griddle hot over medium. Set the sandwiches down mayo-side first. Let them sizzle for a couple of minutes until they’re golden underneath, then flip and do the same to the other side. When both sides are crispy and the inside’s warmed through, they’re done.

How to Serve Grilled Peanut Butter Banana

Serve your Grilled Peanut Butter Banana sandwiches warm for the best taste. You can slice them in half for easier eating or serve them whole. They make a great snack on their own or can be paired with a glass of milk or a smoothie for a complete meal. You can also sprinkle some cinnamon or drizzle honey on top for an extra touch!

How to Store Grilled Peanut Butter Banana

If you have leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. To reheat, just pop them in a toaster oven or a skillet over low heat until warmed through and crispy again.

Tips to Make Grilled Peanut Butter Banana
