Grilled Peanut Butter, Jelly and Banana Sandwich

 

I grew up eating peanut butter and banana sandwiches. It never occurred to me to add jelly as well.  Combining the classic peanut butter and jelly sandwich with the peanut butter and banana sandwich is very delicious.

It also never occurred to me to grill a peanut butter sandwich. I was a bit unsure how I would like such a sandwich grilled, but it turned out delicious. The way the warm melty peanut butter combined with the bananas in the middle and jelly on the bottom was absolutely delicious.

For this sandwich, you can use more of less of the ingredients depending on how much you like in your sandwich. It also depends on the size of bread you use. I used creamy peanut butter because I do not like the crunchy variety. I place the bananas in a single layer on the peanut butter side. For the jelly you could also use jam or preserves in whichever flavor you like best. I was never a grape jelly person, I always preferred strawberry, raspberry or blackberry the best.
