Ingredients

1/2 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup crunchy peanut butter
3 tablespoons honey
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 to 3 ripe bananas
8 slices white bread

Topping:

1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Directions

In a frying pan, melt 3 tablespoons of the butter. Make sure butter does not burn. In a small bowl mix together the peanut butter, honey, and cinnamon. Slice the bananas into 1/4-inch thick slices. Spread the peanut butter mixture on 4 slices of bread and cover with banana slices. Top with the remaining 4 slices of bread. Spread the remaining butter on both sides of the sandwiches. Grill the sandwiches in the frying pan until each side is golden brown.

For topping, combine the sugar and cinnamon in shallow plate. Coat the grilled sandwiches with the mixture. Cut diagonally and serve hot.

not my favorite
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I wasn't a big fan of the combination of cinnamon and peanut butter. It's a good idea, but just not for me.

Easy and Yummy!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I saw Paula Deen make this sandwich on her show and it looked so good and it was a recipe that actually looked easy. I made... it for my family this morning and everyone loved it. My mom thought it would be a weird combination but when she tried it she loved it too. The best thing about this recipe is that it's both yummy and super easy.Read more
