If you read this post, you are probably aware of my love for peanut butter and chocolate. I believe in balance over deprivation, and know that almost everyone has their own list of foods that really feed their souls. 
In attempt to enjoy my beloved chocolate peanut butter in a more balanced way (as part of meal rather than alone with a spoon), I have been enjoying these incredible grilled chocolate peanut butter sandwiches. They are packed with protein, fibrous whole grains, and nutrient-rich bananas, making them a fairly substantial meal or snack to enjoy whenever the craving strikes. You can, of course, obtain the same benefits from regular, non-grilled peanut butter and banana sandwiches, but there is just something about a sandwich with melty peanut butter that makes it even more delectable. I hope you enjoy this as much as I do!
Chocolate Peanut Butter and Banana Sandwich
Ingredients
- 2 slices of whole grain, sourdough, or bread of choice
- 3 tbsp chocolate peanut butter
- 1 small banana sliced
- 1-2 tsp coconut oil
Instructions
- Spread nut butter on the inside of each slice of bread.
- Layer the sliced banana on one slice of bread, then place the other slice on top.
- Add the coconut oil to a small sauté or grill pan and warm over medium heat. Add the sandwich and cook, flipping after a few minutes, until the bread is golden on both sides.
- Remove, slice in half, and enjoy!
