Ingredients
Main Components
- 1 medium banana, cut into thin rounds
- 4 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 4 slices thick white sandwich bread
Instructions
- Prepare the Bread: Spread a thin, even layer of mayonnaise on one side of each slice of bread. The mayo helps with browning and adds a subtle tangy flavor.
- Apply Peanut Butter: On the sides of the bread without mayo, generously slather peanut butter going edge to edge to ensure full flavor coverage.
- Add Bananas: Arrange the banana rounds evenly over two slices of the bread that have peanut butter, making sure to cover the surface well.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Flip the plain peanut butter-covered bread slices over the banana-topped ones so the peanut butter sides touch the bananas, forming two sandwiches.
- Grill the Sandwiches: Heat a pan or griddle over medium heat. Place the sandwiches down mayo-side first and cook for a couple of minutes until golden brown. Flip and cook the other side similarly. Ensure the bread is crispy and the filling is warmed through before removing from heat.
Notes
- Using mayonnaise on the bread helps achieve a golden crisp crust when grilled.
- Choose ripe bananas for natural sweetness and softness.
- Use creamy peanut butter for easy spreading and a smooth texture.
- Serve immediately for best taste and texture as the sandwich is delicious warm.
- Can substitute white bread with whole wheat or gluten-free bread if desired.
