Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 sandwiches
Ingredients
- 4 slices of bread
- ¼ cup peanut butter
- 1 banana, sliced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and ensure they are at room temperature for easy spreading and even cooking.
- In a small bowl, mix together sugar and cinnamon until well combined, creating the cinnamon sugar coating.
- Spread peanut butter evenly on two slices of bread, covering the entire surface to the edges.
- Slice the banana into thin, uniform rounds and arrange the banana slices carefully over the peanut butter layer.
- Top each prepared slice with the remaining bread slices to create two complete sandwiches.
- Melt butter in a large skillet or griddle over medium heat, ensuring even coverage of the cooking surface.
- Gently place the assembled sandwiches into the heated, buttered skillet and cook for approximately 2-3 minutes until the bottom becomes golden brown and crispy.
- Carefully flip the sandwiches and cook the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes until equally golden and crisp.
- Remove sandwiches from the skillet and immediately sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture generously over both sides while still hot.
- Let the sandwiches cool for 1-2 minutes, then slice diagonally and serve warm.
Tips
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Make sure your peanut butter and butter are at room temperature. This will make spreading easier and ensure even cooking.
- Even Banana Slices: Slice the banana into thin, uniform rounds for consistent texture and flavor in every bite.
- Don’t Rush the Cooking: Cook the sandwiches on medium heat to allow the bread to crisp up nicely without burning. Patience is key!
- Generous Cinnamon Sugar Coating: Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture generously while the sandwiches are still hot for the best flavor and a delightful crunch.
- Serving Suggestion: For an extra treat, serve these sandwiches with a drizzle of honey or a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side.
