Peanut Butter and Banana Toast
Some flavor combinations just work - and peanut butter with banana is definitely one of them. Add crispy toasted bread into the mix and you’ve got a grilled sandwich that’s sweet, savory, crunchy, and ridiculously good. Perfect for a quick lunch, an easy snack, or even breakfast if you ask me!

- Make sure the outside of the sandwich is nicely coated with butter.
- Melt a little butter in the skillet and cook the sandwiches on both sides until golden brown and crispy. Flip after about 2 minutes and cook the other side for another 2 minutes.
Optional
- The sandwich is already delicious as is, but for an extra savory touch, add crispy bacon. Cook the bacon until crispy and let it drain on paper towels.4 slices bacon
- If using bacon, place it on top of the banana slices before toasting the sandwich in the skillet.
Notes
Storing: This sandwich is really best when served right away. If you keep it for too long it will lose the crispiness and become stale and unpleasant.
Replacements: Instead of peanut butter you can use any kind of nut butter or a nut free alternative.
Bread: I love using sturdy bread for this like sourdough. But you can really use whatever bread you have on hand. Even gluten free bread will work.
