    The Spiced Peanut Butter, Banana and Honey Sandwich

    20
    By Alisa Fleming on February 8, 2013 Breakfast, Dairy-Free Recipes, Sandwiches

    Go Dairy Free - The Guide and Cookbook for Milk Allergies, Lactose Intolerance and Casein-Free LivingOh my delicious heaven – this isn’t your ordinary peanut butter and banana concoction. First, the peanut butter (or sunflower seed butter for peanut-free!) is spiked with some warm spices. After a thick slathering of this amazing spread, followed by a topping of bananas, all is drizzled with sweetness for the taste of honey sandwich bread (though agave or honey-flavored agave nectar can be used if you wish to keep it vegan!).

    This decadent, yet relatively nutritious and healthy peanut butter, banana, and honey sandwich concept was originally created by celebrity chef Bryan Voltaggio for the Grain Foods Foundation.

    The Spiced Peanut Butter, Banana and Honey Sandwich Recipe (2 delicious recipes in one! Dairy-free, options for gluten-free & nut-free)

    Though this peanut butter and honey sandwich may seem straight-forward for dairy-free diners, milk ingredients can linger in many brands of bread. I often bake our own bread (my primary wheat bread recipe is in Go Dairy Free). But when I’m seeking a short cut, I prefer the whole grain breads produced by Rudi’s Bakery or Silver Hills Bakery (at last check, both brands had dedicated dairy-free facilities).

    Rudi’s also has an organic gluten-free line of bread products (dairy-free, but they do contain eggs) that I’ve heard good things about. Silver Hills Bakery produces gluten-free, dairy-free breads via their Little Northern Bakehouse, which I found pretty impressive for sandwiches.

    Serves: 6 sandwiches
    Ingredients
    Spiced Peanut Butter (or Seed Butter)
    • 1 cup unsalted peanut butter or sunflower seed butter (for nut-free)
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 1¾ teaspoons honey or agave nectar
    • ⅛ teaspoon ginger powder
    • ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon
    PB, Banana & Honey Sandwich
    • 12 slices whole grain or gluten-free bread (see my notes above on dairy-free bread)
    • 6 bananas, sliced
    • 1 cup spiced peanut butter or sunflower seed butter
    • 2 tablespoons honey or agave nectar (for vegan)
    • 2 ounces dairy-free margarine or coconut oil, at room temperature
    • 1 teaspoon sugar
    • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
    Instructions
    Spiced Peanut Butter
    1. Whisk all of the ingredients together in a bowl until well blended.
    2. Place the peanut butter in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for 6 to 8 weeks (if you can keep from eating it for that long!).
    PB, Banana & Honey Sandwich
    1. Lay out two slices of the bread on a cutting board.
    2. Spread both slices of bread with peanut butter. Set one aside.
    3. Take one slice and top with sliced bananas, then drizzle with honey or agave. Place the reserved slice of bread on top.
    4. Brush top and bottom of sandwich with room temperature margarine or oil.
    5. If you own an electric sandwich maker or Panini press, place sandwich inside for 2½ to 3½ minutes. If you do not have a sandwich press, place sandwich in a sauté pan on top of your stove, set at medium heat; and cook for 3-1/2 to 4-1/2 minutes on each side.
    6. While cooking, combine cinnamon and the sugar in small bowl.
    7. Remove sandwich and while still hot, season liberally with cinnamon and sugar.
    8. Cut in half and serve while hot.

      I love silver hills bakery, but I didn’t realize they had gluten free options. I loved their squirrelly bread 🙂

      I have been eating peanut butter and banana sandwiches since I was a kid! Love the addition of sweet honey.

      I could eat peanut butter and jelly everyday. This combo looks amazing. Love the addition of spices!

      LOVE spices in peanut butter! I have a concoction of my own that has people making faces – sriraracha, peanut butter, and banana sandwiches! Might sound odd but they’re DIVINE.

      Alisa, this sandwich looks utterly delectable!! This is everything I could ever want, all wrapped up into a sandwich. Can’t wait to try it. Think I need to make my own toast for it too 🙂

      Ginger in peanut butter?!? NOw you’re talking. I made cinnamon-vanilla this past weekend, but I left most of it plain, so I can still create.

      There is nothing in the world better than nut butter, banana, and honey on slices of warm, toasted bread or bagels. I’m drooling.

      I don’t crave sandwiches often, but I did have one night where I *had* to have toast with peanut butter and bananas. I should have taken it up a notch like this!
