Fried Peanut Butter and Banana Sandwich

Published by

Have you ever had a hankering for Elvis Presley’s favorite Peanut Butter and Banana Sandwich? Let me tell you, this one is a game changer. You only need about 7 minutes to fry this incredibly golden, crisp, and ooey gooey peanut butter and banana sandwich!

When I say “fried”, I don’t mean that I deep fry this sandwich. Basically, it is lightly toasted in some maple butter for a sweet and savory, crispy crust! The way it turns out after being warmed up in the pan with the butter is literal perfection. I wouldn’t recommend skipping that part!

Elvis Sandwich Ingredients Needed

This fried peanut butter and banana sandwich uses pantry staples to create the most delicious treat! Here’s what you’ll need:

  • Bread: You can use regular or gluten free bread here, totally up to you!
  • Peanut Butter: I used creamy peanut butter to get a super gooey texture. Feel free to use crunchy peanut butter if you prefer it.
  • Banana: Use a ripe banana for best results. The sweeter flavor pairs perfectly with the peanut butter.
  • Butter: You can use regular butter or your favorite vegan butter to fry up the sandwich in a pan.
  • Maple Syrup: A little bit of maple syrup added to the butter in the pan will add a hint of sweetness and also caramelize the edges of the bread! Yum!

How to Make Fried Peanut Butter and Banana Sandwich

In less than 10 minutes you can whip up this easy vegan peanut butter and banana sandwich! Here are the simple steps:

Step 1: Spread one slice of bread with peanut butter. Top with banana slices. Top with the remaining slice of bread.

Step 2: Bring a skillet with vegan butter in it to medium heat. Once the butter sizzles, add maple syrup and use the mixture to evenly coat the pan. Place the sandwich into the skillet and fry for about a minute on each side, until golden and crisp.

Step 3: Serve warm and enjoy!

Expert Tips

  • Prefer a bit of crunch? Switch it up for crunch peanut butter if you prefer a bit of crunch in your sandwich!
  • Adjust this recipe to your liking! If you like extra peanut butter, go ahead and add some more! If you are using larger slices of bread, cut the banana in thin pieces so that is spreads across the whole piece.
  • If you don’t have maple syrup on hand, you can substitute the syrup for a bit of honey!
