Ingredients
2 tablespoons peanut butter
2 slices of sandwich bread
½ banana, sliced
Butter, for grilling
½ cup grape tomatoes
1 small cucumber, sliced
Instructions
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Spread the peanut butter on one slice of bread. Top with sliced banana, then place the second slice of bread on top to form a sandwich.
- Butter both sides of the sandwich to ensure it grills up crispy and golden.
- Place the sandwich into the hot pan and grill for about 2 minutes on one side. Flip and grill for another 2 minutes until both sides are golden brown.
- Remove the sandwich from the pan and allow it to cool slightly before packing it into a lunch container with fresh grape tomatoes and cucumber slices.
Notes
- For nut butter alternatives, try almond, cashew, or sunflower seed butter.
- Add chocolate chips or a drizzle of honey for extra indulgence.
- For added warmth, sprinkle cinnamon or nutmeg over the banana slices.
- Serve with a variety of veggies like carrot sticks or bell pepper strips for a more balanced side.
