How do you make your banana sandwich??

97 replies

How do you do yours...? Do you slice/chop your banana or mash it up in the sandwich?

Me.
White bread, butter, mash it on.

Sometimes have it with other fillings - like peanut butter, Marmite, Nutella.

But always white bread.

I don't mind mixing sweet and savoury, but I know that's not for everyone!

Any other good ones I'm missing out on?

White bread buttered on the outside. Peanut butter and sliced banana. Toasted in the airfryer.

Sliced, buttered wholemeal sliced ripe banana. Occasional peanut butter

I toast the bread ever to slightly
mash up the banana and grate the banana skin into it
spread evenly over one poce of bread and fold it over
grate what’s left of the banana skin onto the top
then walk over to the bin and put it in it

sorry ladies it’s a no banana sandwich for me

Same as you, but with a trickly of honey usually. Yum

JohnnieFedora · 05/07/2026 14:33

Oooh honey.... I'm going to try that.

Maybe with some flaked almonds...

Doorstep bread (tiger for preference, but a nice multigrain is fine) thickly buttered, finely sliced banana built up in multiple layers, soft brown sugar on top. Yum!

MrsGaryMcNumanface · 05/07/2026 14:37

Slice of wholemeal, put on mashed banana, then brown sugar, a few blobs of butter, then put under grill

UnexpectedCurveBall · 05/07/2026 14:39

brown bread, butter, mashed up banana and a sprinkle of pepper.

Ive never even considered it, what occasion requires one? Do you have them for lunch or breakfast?

They are the food of the gods. No special occasion required.

A single slice of brown bread, butter, almond or cashew nut butter, sliced banana. Eaten as an open sandwich.

W0tnow · 05/07/2026 14:43

On sourdough toast, with peanut butter.

Sliced, because I’m not a monster.

ithinkilikethislittlelife · 05/07/2026 14:44

Toasted bagel, peanut butter and slices of banana on top. Lush x

Any bread, as long as it is from the bakers, no supermarket bread matches up to banana sandwich.
Generously buttered, real pure butter, no oil mixed in.
Carefully select your banana, just ripe is perfect; it must not be mushy.
Slice into rounds a touch thicker than a £1 coin.
Arranged carefully in rows on the bread.
Squish the top slice down quite firmly.
Cut into 4 triangles.
Enjoy in front of the TV, preferably with gentle programmes on a Sunday evening.

I Slice my Banana any bread and proper salty butter 😋 🧈 🍌 🥪
Thankyou @JohnnieFedora !!!!!

sueelleker · 05/07/2026 15:03

White bread, banana sliced lengthways. I've recently taken to spreading a thin layer of chocolate spread on it as well; like a banana split without the ice-cream!

onwardandupwards · 05/07/2026 15:05

White bread, sliced banana and some lightly melted rolos drizzled over the banana.

Buttered lightly done toast (not particular about the type of bread), sliced banana, drizzle of honey, sprinkle of demara sugar, squeeze of lemon juice

AtlasPine · 05/07/2026 15:33

Mashed on granary bread which has been toasted on one side. Cover with a thick layer of grated vintage cheddar and toast under grill until bubbling..

BertieBotts · 05/07/2026 15:34

White bread or a fresh crusty roll (can be seeded) cut in half.

Salted butter. Optionally, honey, but only for the crusty roll - bread doesn't have enough structure to support honey and banana.

Sliced banana, eat as open sandwich. Banana should not be mushy.

Rosessmelllovely · 05/07/2026 15:35

Brown bread, lemon curd, sliced banana in thick circles and falling out of your sandwich - magnificent. Also see sourdough toast with butter, lemon curd and banana on top!
