Gather Ingredients.
Collect all your ingredients: whole wheat bread, natural peanut butter, and a ripe banana. Make sure your peanut butter is stirred well if natural and separated.
Tip: Use ripe bananas with brown spots for the sweetest flavor. -
Prepare the Banana.
Peel the banana and place it on a cutting board. Using a knife, carefully slice the banana into thin, even slices about 1/4 inch thick.
Tip: Try to slice the banana evenly so the sandwich layers nicely. -
Spread Peanut Butter.
Take one slice of whole wheat bread and use a butter knife to spread 2 tablespoons of natural peanut butter evenly across the surface. Spread gently to avoid tearing the bread.
Tip: If peanut butter is too thick, warm it slightly to make spreading easier. -
Assemble the Sandwich.
Arrange the banana slices evenly over the peanut butter-covered bread. Then place the second slice of bread on top to complete your sandwich.
Tip: Press down lightly on the sandwich to help it hold together without squishing the banana.
Pro tips
- For added flavor, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon on the banana slices before assembling.
- Toast the bread lightly if you prefer a warm and crunchier sandwich.
