My wife grew up in the same neighborhood of Tupelo Miss. as Elvis' family and most people sautéed the bananas in butter with a sprinkle of sugar to caramelize the "nanners" before assembling the sandwich and coating the outside edges of the toast with butter to fry them like a grilled cheese sammich...It's a World of difference in taste.
Just tried it in the air fryer. If you’re on similar medication to Elvis. This definitely boosts your energy and mood. Elvis knew what he was doing haha
Regular pb&b sandwiches were a staple for me growing up, and I still eat tons of them on camping trips. Now I'm imagining rolling in from a long mountain hike, and frying one of these babies over the camp fire with Elvis on the bluetooth speaker.
That crunch from the fried bread, and the gooeyness of the peanut butter and banana. I've also tried this with Nutella on one side of the bread, and peanut butter on the other. Absolutely indulgence!!!😋😋😋
Love peanut butter and banana sandwhiches. I have it all of the time, ever since I was little. The thing is, I don't fry it. I just toast it using wheat bread usually (white sometimes), then put chunky peanut butter and banana on it.
Aww thanks Ellen! Did alot of research for this one. We wanted to do exactly what the King liked. To the best of our knowledge this was the way! Yum! Have an awesome weekend!
I was reading an article about Elvis recently, and it mentioned the peanut butter and banana sandwich, I was just thinking about what I am going to have for supper, and this recipe fits the bill
That is so awesome my friend! Thanks for the great comment! Glad we gave you some inspiration! This sandwich is really good. It's easy to see why The King enjoyed it!
So true Patrick! The combo was great! How can you go wrong when it's the King's favorite hahaha all you need is a glass of milk! Great to hear from you brother!
Thanks so much my friend! Love all your kind words. Really great to hear from you! It's a fun sandwich! If Elvis loved it, you know.its good! Have an awesome weekend!
I made one of these tonight on a flour tortilla and used organic peanut butter, and it was so good I made a second. Good job Elvis, a fillIng sandwich.
Hubba hubba my burning hunk of love! What a fabulous tribute and great idea! My all time favorite flavor combination is peanut butter and banana! Way to tell the story behind it! 🍸❤️
Ms. Jill! We love Elvis and we have planned this show for quite a while! We hope we did his favorite sandwich some kind of justice! Turned out great and yummy too. Can't go wrong with the peanut butter banana combo.. yum! Hope you have a wonderful weekend Jill! Love you! cheers!
Hi, friend! As expected, your fried peanut butter banana sandwich recipe looks so delicious today! My mouth is watering! Thank you so much for sharing good recipes! I'll make it this weekend! Be careful not to catch a cold!Have a nice day! See you again!
I drizzle honey on my peanut butter, then put the banana on it. If you're a diabetic you can sprinkle a little sucralose on the sliced banana then drizzle a little honey on it. The honey and peanut butter get melty and gooey and delicious. It's been so long since I made one, I can't remember if I toast my bread b4 frying it.
Thank you so much my friend for the kind words! Really means alot. So glad you like our content. Looking forward to seeing you around. Have a great weekend my friend!
Wow Chef!!!! You are amazing at this!!!!! I had Elvis’s Fried Peanut Butter and Banana Sandwich for breakfast Today, You are right It is delicious!!!! And a Hunka Hunka sandwich!!!! Elvis really did know what he liked!!!! I love you doing Elvis’s voice, I am sure that is what Elvis would really say to you!!!! I will not Be Cruel!!!! I just subscribed!!!!! Thank you Chef Jason!!!!
2 variations that may or may not be authentic are bacon inside the sandwich and powdered sugar sprinkled outside. I think the bacon is authentic but the powdered sugar is taken from the Monte Cristo because they do that sometimes.
Linda Thompson said on TV recently that these' sandwiches, Elvis wanted the bananas mashed into the peanut butter before spreading it onto the toasted bread. It had to be white bread preferably Wonder Bread and he liked slices of bacon in it too. Then she'd fried it like a grilled cheese in lots of butter, the way he liked it.
I always heard it referred to as a peanut butter and FRIED BANANA sandwich. So I always though you like sauteed the sliced bananas and then put them in the sandwich.
@@Jayboy87l Actually made it this way recently. It works good with a fresh banana but if you use one that might be close to being tossed the banana slices just turn to mush in the skillet. But crisping up the banana a bit then making the sandwich as it is made in this video is freakin goooood. Now I know why the king loved it so much. And it's dirt cheap.
Hey Dolores! Thanks so much for taking the time to stop on in. It's great to hear fr you! We are Elvis fans ourselves and took some.research to make this right. Sandwich is A+ in our book! Have a great weekend Baking Diva! 💕
You did a wonderful job with this and yes, I definitely think Elvis would approve for sure! It looks absolutely positively delish!!! I'm glad you have some originality and some character, and also I am glad you are not some vegan soyboy living in his parent's basement making this! Lol.
Hi there. I really hate to do this because I know there's a lot of people that believe this is the way Elvis always ate them ... but Elvis' father Vernon and Mary Jenkins came up with that recipe on the Fly. They were just winging it trying to figure out something that tasted good to Elvis but it is not the way Gladys made them for Elvis. Vernon tried, God luv him, but he just mis-remembered. And Gladys' way was SOOoooo much simpler or easier than what Mary & Vernon came up with. The REAL way - *if anyone wants to do it the way his mother Gladys used to make them* ... Here it is. Simply mash up the peanut butter & bananas together in a bowl (or on a plate ..whichever way is easier for people. But basically make the peanut butter & bananas sort of a Mashed-potato textured concoction (usually only takes a minute or so). Then just spoon it onto one slice of bread. Put the other slice of bread on top... you're done... drop it in the skillet, cook each side till golden brown. That extra step of toasting the bread first is not what Gladys did. It just is not necessary. Nor is slicing the bananas beforehand what Gladys did, again that was something Mary Jenkins & Vernon came up with in the moment. The reason I know this is because my wife and I have been longtime personal friends with Barbara Smith Hearn. (Most people that know anything about Elvis-history 1956 know who Barbara Hearn is). I was discussing with her the way I personally like to make those PBB Sandwhiches, but apparently I was doing it different that way Mary & Vernon came up with for Elvis. And she told me, "No Jay, you're way of making them, that is exactly the same way Gladys made those sandwiches for Elvis. Vernon and Mary came up with that other recipe themselves". Then Barbara explained to me how she tried to make one for Elvis herself one day when he was hungry and said, but she apparently did it wrong herself. So then Gladys walked around the corner, her and Elvis said "we're going to show you the way we do this". So Barbara pretty much stood there in the kitchen counter with them and watched. Again, as described above, Barb said it was as simple as I myself do it ...which is just - mash the peanut butters and bananas all together, slap the mix between two pieces of bread and drop in skillet. Oh, important, almost forgot the butter. It can either be dropped right into the frying pan or can butter the bread beforehand - whichever is easier, but either way taste comes out pretty much the same. So anyway there you go. A lot of people out there still do not know this. So feel free to Share or pass along this simple recipe that Gladys used to make them herself. I told Barbara she should have made this a matter of official public awareness in one of her past interviews. She laughed. Said she was totally unaware that there were so many people over the years that did not know the proper way that Gladys used to make them. So I guess there are two ways that Elvis liked them and people can do them whichever way they think is easier. They can do it the original way that is mother used to make them and Elvis was used to eating them or they can do it the other way that years later his father and Mary came up with that Elvis seemed to also like. I'm personally going with the way Gladys made them. so so much easier to make and always tastes awesome
