I have no idea at all why I made this sandwich. I thought so little of doing it, that I forgot to take a picture of it. So – in the interest of journalistic integrity, I am going to have to make … and eat… another of my twisted take on The King’s favorite sandwich.
If you aren’t familiar, the King himself, Elvis Presley was fond of a sandwich combining peanut butter and bananas and fried in butter to make it extra molten peanut-buttery-crispy good. I got a wild hair today to try this on my own, with a twist. I added honey, and slathered the yummy Orowheat Oat Nut bread with I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter and fried it up to a crispy golden brown.
I have to say… at first taste, I was wondering just what the hell I was thinking… then… it started growing on me. It had that awesome sweet and salty combination that is just awesome. I think the next time I try this I will add bacon. After all – bacon just rocks in pretty much anything and looking at the sweet and salty scale on this recipe, the bananas + the honey outweigh the salty peanut butter 2 to 1. That’s just not fair.
Here’s the recipe:
- 2 slices bread of your choice
- Peanut Butter to taste
- 1 Banana – sliced
- Honey to taste
- I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter for frying
Spread Peanut butter on one half of bread, and drizzle and spread honey on other slice. Add a layer of sliced banana’s on top and combine. Fry over medium heat in ICBINB until crispy to your liking.
Think of the King while you enjoy.
What the hell was I thinking?

how can you be an ultimate foodie and use fake butter?
I didn't say I was a gourmet…. it was handy at the time and we keep it around because it's a little healthier.
I'm a foodie – I am willing to give a lot of things a try… and this wasn't bad.
If I was cooking in a restaurant and used the fake stuff – I'd expect to be tarred and feathered
