Ingredients
  

4 slices of whole wheat bread

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

1 large ripe banana, sliced

2 tablespoons unsalted butter (for frying)

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)

Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Sandwiches: Spread 1/4 cup of peanut butter evenly on two slices of bread. Layer the banana slices over the peanut butter. Optionally, drizzle honey or maple syrup over the bananas for added sweetness. Place the remaining slices of bread on top to create two sandwiches.

    Heat the Butter: In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat until it begins to foam but not brown.

      Fry the Sandwiches: Carefully place the sandwiches in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side, or until golden brown and crispy. Flip the sandwiches and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the second side is also golden brown.

        Add Cinnamon: If using, sprinkle ground cinnamon on the sandwiches while they cook for an extra layer of flavor.

          Serve: Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and allow them to cool slightly. Cut them in half or quarters and dust with powdered sugar if desired. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a refreshing touch.

            Enjoy: Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Fried Peanut Butter & Banana Sandwiches with a glass of milk or a smoothie!
