Who’s a fan of PB&J’s?!
Me me meeee!
Clearly.
This one right here is one of my new favorites.
It’s sweet, salty, crunchy, creamy and everything wonderful really.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m also a BIG fan of this Toasted Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Sandwich (which I guess doesn’t have the “J” but whatever) and this here Vegan Strawberry Cheesecake PB&J.
All three are lightly fried in tropical unrefined coconut oil aka a game changer people.
So do yourself a little favor and whip up an amped up PB sandwich for yourself.
Because it will warm your soul almost as much as a cuddly puppy.
All you have to do is grab two slices of whole grain sandwich bread, slather on some nutty peanut butter and sweet blackberry jam (the chunky kind–we like detectable fruit!) then top with perfectly ripened banana slices, salty macadamia nuts, and a few good dashes of ground cinnamon to seal the deal.
Toast her up in a skillet with your coconut oil then dig in before you drool on yourself (guilty).
P.S. Don’t even think about using jelly! (Desirable) texture is your friend and jam has all those nice fruity bits reminding you that the stuff actually did come from real deal fruit.
Toasted Peanut Butter, Banana & Blackberry Jam Sandwich with Macadamia Nuts
Ingredients
- 2 slices whole grain bread, gluten-free if necessary (I like Dave’s Killer Bread)
- 2 tablespoons salted peanut butter (no added oil or sugar)
- 1 tablespoon roughly chopped salted dry roasted macadamia nuts
- 1 small banana; sliced into rounds (enough to cover bread)
- 1 tablespoon blackberry jam (I like Bonne Maman Blackberry Perserves)
- 4 dashes ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon unrefined coconut oil, or enough to lightly grease pan
Instructions
- Spread the peanut butter evenly over one slice of bread.
- Sprinkle the chopped macadamia nuts over the peanut butter, pressing them in lightly to stick.
- Top the macadamia nuts with banana rounds, fitting as many rounds as possible onto the bread.
- Spread the blackberry jam over the other slice of bread.
- Top the jam with cinnamon.
- Sandwich the two slices together.
- Meanwhile, heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium low heat.
- Add the coconut oil, coating the pan evenly.
- Cook the sandwich for about four minutes on one side, or until golden brown.
- Flip, then cook for another three minutes, or until the second side becomes golden brown as well.
