Ingredients
- 1 medium sweet potato
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 1 banana, sliced
- Cinnamon, to taste
- Whole grain bread, 2 slices
Instructions
- Wash the sweet potato thoroughly and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
- Peel the sweet potato and cut into thin, even slices approximately 1/4 inch thick to ensure uniform cooking.
- Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray or brush with olive oil.
- Place sweet potato slices on the heated surface and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until they develop a golden-brown color and become tender. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- While sweet potato is cooking, toast the whole grain bread slices until they reach a light golden-brown color and have a crisp texture.
- Spread an even layer of peanut butter on each slice of toasted bread, ensuring complete coverage.
- Arrange the cooked sweet potato slices carefully on one bread slice, creating an even layer.
- Slice the banana into thin, uniform rounds and layer them over the sweet potato slices.
- Sprinkle ground cinnamon over the banana and sweet potato layers to enhance the flavor profile.
- Close the sandwich by placing the second slice of bread on top, with the peanut butter side facing down.
- Optional: Cut the sandwich diagonally for easier handling and more appealing presentation.
- Serve immediately while bread is still warm and ingredients are fresh.
Tips
- Choose a ripe but firm banana to ensure the best texture and sweetness.
- Use a non-stick skillet or griddle for even cooking of sweet potato slices.
- Slice sweet potatoes uniformly to guarantee consistent cooking and texture.
- Toast bread until it's crisp but not burnt - this adds a delightful crunch.
- Experiment with different types of nut butter for varied flavor profiles.
- For extra richness, try warming the peanut butter slightly before spreading.
- Use freshly ground cinnamon for a more intense, aromatic flavor.
- Let sweet potato slices cool slightly before assembling to prevent bread from getting soggy.
- If you want a healthier version, use sprouted whole grain bread.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the sandwich at its peak temperature and texture.
