Cookware
chef's knife · cutting board · measuring cups · measuring spoons · nonstick skillet · spatula
Directions
- Peel the bananas and slice them crosswise into thin rounds.
- Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- Assemble the sandwiches by spreading peanut butter on the bread, laying banana slices on one slice, and topping with the other slice to close each sandwich.
- When the skillet is hot, swirl in the coconut oil to coat the bottom.
- Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook until the bottoms turn golden brown, about 2–4 minutes.
- Flip the sandwiches, add a touch more oil if needed, and cook until the other side is golden and warmed through, about 2–4 minutes more; transfer them to a cutting board.
- Slice each sandwich in half and place on plates to serve.
- Divide the sandwiches between plates and serve.
Two tips
- Bananas can be sliced ahead of time and kept on the cutting board until you’re ready to cook.
- If you like, dip bites in a little extra peanut butter for dipping at the table.
