Ingredients
  

4 slices of bread (your choice: white, whole grain, or brioche)

1/2 cup creamy or crunchy peanut butter

2 ripe bananas, sliced

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (optional)

1 egg

1/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1 cup of crushed cornflakes or breadcrumbs (for coating)

2 tablespoons butter or oil (for frying)

Pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the Sandwich Filling: Spread a generous layer of peanut butter on two slices of bread. Top each with banana slices, and drizzle with honey or maple syrup if desired. Place the other slices of bread on top, forming two sandwiches.

    Make the Batter: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until well combined.

      Prepare the Coating: In another shallow bowl, place the crushed cornflakes or breadcrumbs. This will create a crunchy coating for your sandwiches.

        Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, heat the butter or oil over medium heat until bubbly and hot.

          Batter the Sandwiches: Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, coating both sides evenly. Then, immediately coat them in the crushed cornflakes or breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

            Fry the Sandwiches: Carefully place the coated sandwiches in the hot skillet. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan—fry in batches if necessary.

              Drain and Serve: Once cooked, remove the sandwiches from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Let them cool slightly before cutting into halves or quarters.

                Garnish: Optionally, dust with powdered sugar or serve with extra honey or maple syrup for dipping.
