Serves: 1

Time: 15 minutes

A sandwich so satisfying, you might confuse it for dessert.

Salty peanut butter, sweet jelly and bananas, all nestled between two warm, buttery slices of bread? Sign us up! This decadent sandwich is buttery and crispy on the outside, yet warm and gooey on the inside. Frying the bananas gives them a nice golden caramelization, making this feel like a special treat.

Ingredients

- Butter
- 1 banana, sliced
- 2 slices of bread
- Peanut Butter
- Jelly or fruit preserves of your choice (we love a good Mixed Berries preserve)
- Cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

step 1

Heat the butter in a skillet on medium-high heat.

step 2

Slice your banana and add to the melted butter in your skillet. Sauté the banana slices until they turn golden brown and start to caramelize. Feel free to add in a few dashes of cinnamon as your bananas cook.

step 3

While the bananas are cooking, prepare one slice of bread with peanut butter and the other with jelly.

step 4

Once the bananas are cooked, add about ¾ of them to either the peanut butter or jelly slice. Put the slices together and butter the outsides of your PB&J.
