Peanut butter and banana panini

First, choose a peanut butter that has a simple ingredient list: peanuts!

This type of peanut butter should be refrigerated once opened, so I recommend having it sit on the counter 5-10 minutes before using to make the task of spreading it easier.

Take whole grain bread and cover with peanut butter.  Place a layer of sliced bananas.  Put another piec of whole grain bread on top. 

You can either brush olive oil or butter onto the outer sides of the bread, then put in your panini press for 3-4 minutes OR you can grill in a skillet just like you would when you make grilled cheese. 

We paired ours with leftover Winter salad.
