I love peanut butter and banana sandwiches. Peanut butter and bananas were the original sandwich spread (also known as PB&J or Peanut Butter and Jelly), so they are probably my favorite. When I was a kid, I knew what peanut butter and bananas tasted like, but I didn't really think of them as one flavor. I did recognize PB & J's as just a sandwich spread, and not really two separate flavours. When I was in graduate school researching food allergies and intolerances, PB&B is one of the main themes that came up. PB&B was and still is the favorite sandwich spread on my school cafeteria tray, and it's still on my personal board in the kitchen. I've seen PB&B on more than one occasion over the years. I can always find one of the other types of peanut butter spread at the school cafeteria and I find it's the perfect spread for PB&B. You have several options for making your own peanut butter (I love this recipe from Cookie and Kate) or buying it at stores like Trader Joes, Publix, and Safeway. The flavor of PB&B varies, but I've found that white chocolate is my favorite to use. This simple sandwich is perfect for lunch or an afternoon snack. When you're on the go, you can use a store bought product, but it just wouldn't taste as good. These peanut butter n' banana sandwich spreads (as well as other peanut butter spreads) are great for on the go eating, but they can also be refrigerated for a few hours and then served at your next party. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Using a kitchen timer, or using a microwave, heat butter in a saucepan and melt over low heat. Add vanilla extract and milk and heat until nearly boiling. Add peanut butter, bananas, sugar, salt, and pepper, mixing well to combine all ingredients. Spread peanut butter mixture on both sides of your bread. Top with banana slices and a slice of cheese. Toast the bread until both sides are golden brown. Remove from toast and sprinkle a little more sugar and peanut butter on the top. Enjoy while the bread is warm. Store in an airtight container up to one day. Assemble peanut butter and banana sandwich spread by spreading the peanut butter mixture on each slice of bread. Add a banana slice on top and then a PB & J sandwich. Enjoy while the bread is still warm. P.S. You might also like these peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
