Ingredients
- 2 English muffins
- 4 tablespoons peanut butter
- 1 banana, sliced
- 2 tablespoons chocolate chips
- Honey (optional)
Instructions
- Split the English muffins in half using a fork or a knife, creating 4 even halves.
- Toast the English muffin halves in a toaster or under the broiler until they are golden brown and slightly crispy around the edges.
- Remove the toasted muffin halves and place them on a clean cutting board or serving plate.
- Using a butter knife or offset spatula, spread approximately 1 tablespoon of creamy peanut butter evenly on each muffin half, ensuring complete coverage.
- Carefully slice the banana into thin, uniform rounds, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Arrange the banana slices on top of the peanut butter in a playful teddy bear face design - use two slices for eyes and a central slice for the nose.
- Sprinkle chocolate chips around the banana slices to create additional facial features or decorative elements.
- If desired, drizzle a small amount of honey over the top for added sweetness and shine.
- Serve immediately while the muffins are still warm and the peanut butter is soft and creamy.
Tips
- Choose Your Muffins Wisely: Opt for whole grain or multigrain English muffins for a healthier twist, or stick with classic for that traditional taste.
- Perfectly Toasted: Keep an eye on your muffins while toasting to prevent burning. A golden brown color is key for that perfect crunch!
- Peanut Butter Variety: Feel free to experiment with different types of nut butters, like almond or cashew, for a unique flavor profile.
- Banana Slicing: For the best presentation, slice your bananas just before assembling to keep them fresh and prevent browning.
- Creative Faces: Get creative with your teddy bear designs! Use raisins, dried cranberries, or even mini marshmallows for different facial features.
- Drizzle with Care: If adding honey, drizzle it lightly to avoid overpowering the other flavors. A little goes a long way!
- Serve Fresh: These muffins are best enjoyed warm, so prepare them just before serving for that gooey peanut butter experience.
