Ingredients
Sandwich Ingredients
- 1 banana
- 2 slices wholegrain bread
- 1 tbsp peanut butter
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- 1 tbsp olive oil (or coconut oil)
Instructions
- Prepare the Bread: Smear the peanut butter evenly onto both slices of wholegrain bread to add creamy texture and flavor.
- Slice the Banana: Cut the banana into approximately 8mm thick slices and carefully layer them over one slice of the peanut buttered bread.
- Add Cinnamon: Evenly sprinkle ½ teaspoon of cinnamon over the banana slices to enhance the sweetness and add a warm spice note.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Place the second slice of bread on top, with the peanut butter side facing down, to form the sandwich.
- Heat the Pan: Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil or coconut oil to a pan and heat over medium heat.
- Pan-Fry the Sandwich: Place the sandwich in the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until both sides are golden brown and crispy, ensuring the peanut butter melts and the bread is toasted.
- Serve: Remove from the pan and serve hot for a comforting, flavorful meal.
Notes
- You can substitute the wholegrain bread with gluten-free bread if desired.
- Use natural peanut butter without added sugar or salt for a healthier option.
- For a different flavor twist, try adding a drizzle of maple syrup or a handful of chopped nuts inside the sandwich before frying.
- If you prefer less oil, you can use a non-stick pan and reduce the amount of oil to 1 teaspoon.
- The sandwich is best enjoyed immediately, while the peanut butter is melted and the bread is crispy.
