Grilled Peanut Butter Banana Sandwich

You can whip up this easy Grilled Peanut Butter Banana Sandwich in just a few minutes, and even your pickiest eaters will approve!

First of all, I should start by saying that I hope this sandwich doesn't seem too bizarre. I mean,  grilled peanut butter and bananas isn't that exotic, is it? Other people have made them, and we know Elvis liked them, right?

Anyway, I wanted to post this sandwich recipe here because it's super easy to make, and since this blog is all about quick and easy meals, it should fit right in!

It's also one of my middle child's favorite sandwiches. She doesn't like grilled cheese, but she loves peanut butter. So whenever I make grilled cheese sandwiches for the rest of the crew, she asks for a grilled PB & B -- except when I make Parmesan crusted pizza grilled cheese.  She actually likes those!

Normally, I won't take custom orders when I'm making lunch or dinners -- no way! But, since it's super easy to make a grilled peanut butter and banana sandwich, I don't mind. Actually, it's even easier than making your normal everyday grilled cheese.

I use mayonnaise instead of butter when I make grilled cheese, so I do the same thing when I make grilled peanut butter. You just add a thin coat of mayo to the outsides of the bread, and you cover the insides with peanut butter and banana slices. Grill it up, and that's it. Easy peasy, right?!

It cooks faster than grilled cheese because you're basically just toasting the bread. There's no waiting for the cheese to melt, so once the bread is a gorgeous golden brown color, you're done.

My daughter likes these peanut butter sandwiches just like this, but you could easily add a little honey, chocolate or even Nutella. It would definitely be more of a dessert sandwich, but there's nothing wrong with that!
