Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
• 2 slices Whole-grain or white bread
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 0.5 medium-sized Banana
• 0.25 teaspoon Cinnamon (optional)
• 1 teaspoon Butter (unsalted, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Gather all your ingredients and tools: a knife for spreading, a small spoon for honey, and a cutting board for slicing the banana.

Step 2

Place the two slices of bread on a clean surface, such as a plate or cutting board.

Step 3

Spread 1 tablespoon of peanut butter evenly on one slice of bread using the knife.

Step 4

Spread the remaining 1 tablespoon of peanut butter on the second slice of bread.

Step 5

Drizzle the honey over one of the slices of peanut butter. Use a small spoon to spread it gently for even coverage.

Step 6

Peel and slice half of the banana into thin rounds, approximately 1/8 inch thick. Arrange the banana slices on top of the honey-covered bread slice.

Step 7

Sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon over the banana slices, if using, to add a hint of spice and depth of flavor.

Step 8

Carefully place the second peanut butter-covered slice of bread on top of the banana layer, peanut butter side down, to complete the sandwich.

Step 9

Optional: For extra richness, spread a very thin layer of butter on the outside of each bread slice before lightly toasting the sandwich in a nonstick skillet over medium heat, about 1-2 minutes per side. This step is not necessary but elevates the dish.

Step 10

Cut the sandwich in half diagonally or down the middle, as desired, and serve immediately.
