Description

A quick and delicious Peanut Butter Banana Sandwich that’s perfect for a vegan and low-calorie breakfast. Creamy peanut butter, fresh banana slices, and a hint of cinnamon are sandwiched between wholegrain bread, then pan-fried to golden perfection in just 8 minutes. A simple, nutritious meal to start your day or cure a hangover.


Ingredients

Sandwich Ingredients

  • 1 banana
  • 2 slices wholegrain bread
  • 1 tbsp peanut butter
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (or coconut oil)


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Bread: Smear the peanut butter evenly onto both slices of wholegrain bread to add creamy texture and flavor.
  2. Slice the Banana: Cut the banana into approximately 8mm thick slices and carefully layer them over one slice of the peanut buttered bread.
  3. Add Cinnamon: Evenly sprinkle ½ teaspoon of cinnamon over the banana slices to enhance the sweetness and add a warm spice note.
  4. Assemble the Sandwich: Place the second slice of bread on top, with the peanut butter side facing down, to form the sandwich.
  5. Heat the Pan: Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil or coconut oil to a pan and heat over medium heat.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
