Can I make this without an air fryer?

Yes! A frying pan is a good choice. You may need some butter or oil with you have a non-stick pan. We like using non-stick to make lighter feeling food with less calories!

We would not recommend storing it for more than a few hours. The bread will get soggy. If you want to take it to go, let it cool and then add it to an airtight container.

Could this work with other fillings?

Yes! You may need to adjust the ingredient quantities a bit, but different fillings will work. You may want to jam instead of banana for more classic meal of PB and J. You could also try almond butter as a replacement for the peanut butter. There are so many other possibilities for choice of filling!

What other breads might you recommend?

We've made this with sprouted whole wheat bread and it's turned out great. You could also try a nice sourdough bread.

How many sandwiches could I make at once.

Depending on the size of your air fryer, you could make 2 to 4 at once. Try placing some slices in your air fryer basket before you make the sandwiches to see how many can fit.

I'm having trouble getting the chocolate chips to melt with my sandwich.

Add your chocolate chips to a small bowl and melt them in a microwave until soft. This should only take a few seconds and make them melt easier from the hot air in the air fryer.

Instructions

Spread the Peanut Butter: Put a layer of peanut butter on one side of each slice of bread. You want to be a little generous so it can hold the next ingredients in place.
Add the Chocolate and Banana: Place the chocolate chips on top of the peanut butter of one of the slices of bread on a single layer. Put the banana on the other one, also in a single layer.
Combine: Take one side of the sandwich and place it so the banana and chocolate meet. We recommend the top slice be the chocolate chip side as the chocolate will then melt over the banana. Shove back in any chocolate chips that fell outside of the bread.
Cook: Add sandwich to air fryer basket and cook at 325 F (165 C) for about 6-10 minutes or until your bread is toasted golden brown. Make sure to flip it every 3 minutes to make sure you get an even browning for the best results.
Serve: Let cool for about a minute and then enjoy!

Notes

Note 1: If you want to lightly toast your sandwich, consider softening your chocolate chips in a microwave for a few seconds before adding them to a sandwich.
Note 2: We used white bread to make this recipe, however, you are free to use whatever type you'd like. Note that it might affect the cook times.
Note 3: We used these amazing mini chocolate chips that melted great in the air fryer.
Note 4: Depending on how big your banana is. If you have leftovers, you can freeze it for smoothies or nice cream if you can't eat it right away!
