A grilled sandwich is one of life’s simple pleasures. Here we have a quick brunch recipe for a grilled peanut butter banana sandwich. Perfect for those times when you have a craving for something sweet and indulgent that must be satisfied immediately!
Peanut butter and banana is a classic flavour combination. However peanut butter can be seen as a tad basic or should I say unsophisticated, but I hold no such pretensions. Instead of sugar I’ve added a spoonful of maple syrup which offers a richer, caramel like sweetness. Drizzle with melted velvety dark chocolate and this simple grilled sandwich is elevated to pure euphoric levels. And I’m not one to exaggerate.
Spread both sides of the sandwich with margarine and squash down on the grill to make the peanut butter and banana extra gooey. A word of warning – the mouthwatering smell of warm maple syrup and grilled sticky banana will beckon from the kitchen having everyone in the near vicinity reaching for your heavenly creation.
