I made Toasted Peanut Butter Banana Sandwiches for lunch yesterday. They’re delicious, easy to make and good for you. It’s also a great way to use up bananas that are on the verge of getting over ripe.
Here’s your ingredient list:
Whole Grain Bread
Peanut Butter
Bananas
Margarine (low fat/low cal)
Cooking Spray
Powdered or Granulated Sugar
1. Put a frying pan on the stove to warm over medium/low heat. I like a cast iron pan for this best. Coat it with cooking spray.
2. Spread two pieces of bread with a thin layer of peanut butter.
3. Cut slices, not too thick, from a banana and arrange on one slice of the bread.
4. Put the slices together and butter the top side of the sandwich.
5. Place buttered side down in the pan and quickly butter the other side.
6. Brown the bottom just like you would when making grilled cheese. Flip and brown the other side.
7. Remove from pan and sprinkle top with sugar or powdered sugar. Powdered sugar would be best, but I only had granulated on hand. It was tasty too.
9. Slice in half and enjoy!
You can get in a serving of fruit, whole grain and some protein with the peanut butter. To make it even healthier try using an all-natural peanut butter.
