Grilled Peanut Butter Banana Sandwich
Crispy, gooey, and irresistibly sweet—this Elvis-inspired sandwich is pure comfort!
Why It Works
-
Creamy peanut butter melts into warm bananas for a luscious filling.
-
Mayonnaise (instead of butter) creates an extra-crispy, golden crust without tasting mayo-y.
-
Hits all the notes: Sweet, salty, crunchy, and nostalgic.
Ingredients (Makes 2 sandwiches)
-
4 slices thick white bread (brioche or Texas toast works too)
-
2 tbsp mayonnaise (or softened butter for classic version)
-
4 tbsp creamy peanut butter
-
1 large banana, sliced into ¼-inch rounds
-
1 tbsp honey (optional, for extra sweetness)
-
Pinch of cinnamon (optional, for warmth)
Instructions
1️⃣ Build the Sandwich
-
Spread 1 tbsp peanut butter on one side of each bread slice.
-
Layer banana slices on two of the slices. Drizzle with honey and sprinkle cinnamon if using.
-
Close sandwiches with the remaining bread slices (peanut butter side in).
2️⃣ Grill to Perfection
-
Spread mayonnaise on the outer sides of the bread (this replaces butter for crisping).
-
Heat a skillet over medium-low heat. Cook sandwiches for 2–3 mins per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until golden brown and peanut butter is melty.
3️⃣ Slice & Serve
-
Cut diagonally and enjoy immediately!
Pro Tips
🔥 Elvis Upgrade: Add 2 strips of cooked bacon for sweet-salty-crunchy magic.
🍯 Extra Gooey? Swap honey for marshmallow fluff.
🥜 Crunchy Twist: Use chunky peanut butter or sprinkle crushed peanuts inside.
Warning: Highly addictive! 🍌🥜🔥
