Instructions
- Spread 1 tablespoon peanut butter onto one slice of bread, covering edge to edge
- Arrange banana slices evenly over the peanut butter, slightly overlapping if needed

Notes
- Use slightly overripe bananas for extra sweetness and easier mashing during cooking
- Spread peanut butter all the way to the edges to prevent banana slices from sliding out
- Press the sandwich gently before cooking to help ingredients bind together
- Keep heat at medium to prevent burning the outside while the inside stays cold
- Let the sandwich rest for 30 seconds after cooking to allow filling to set slightly
