When my mom was pregnant with me (and very thin), she craved peanut butter and banana sandwiches. So once when she was visiting her dad, he bought her a huge grocery bag full of bananas to make the sandwiches. Isn’t that just like a dad! I was thinking about this the other day, and decided to try a variation that I had heard about (reading a book on Elvis I think), and it turned out delicious. The nice thing about this sandwich is that you probably have all the ingredients in your kitchen already.
Here is what you need:
2 slices of bread ( I used whole wheat)
1-2 Tablespoons of peanut butter
squirt of honey
1/2 a banana
1 Tablespoon of butter
sprinkling of powdered sugar
Melt the butter in your pan and dip one side of each slice of your bread in, or spread it on the bread.
Mix your peanut butter and a squirt of honey together,
and spread it on the bread. Then slice up half of your
banana and lay it out on the bread.
Now just toast it with butter on both sides in your pan.
After it was done I sprinkled it with powdered sugar,
but a variation is to use cinnamon sugar. If you really want to be decadent,
I bet you could eat it with syrup like french toast.
It’s easy and delicious!
Hope you enjoy!

I’m gonna have to try this. I like them not toasted…I’m sure it’s better dipped in butter and toasted!!
