Elevate your next tea gathering or afternoon snack with these delightful Honey Banana Tea Sandwiches. Featuring a creamy spread made from softened cream cheese and golden honey, these sandwiches are layered with thinly sliced ripe bananas, a drizzle of extra honey, and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon for a touch of warmth. Nestled between slices of wholesome whole grain bread, they offer a perfect balance of natural sweetness and subtle spice. Whether served fresh with crusts trimmed for a sophisticated presentation or lightly toasted for a warm, buttery twist, these bite-sized treats are ready in just 10 minutes and ideal for a cozy brunch, snack platter, or indulgent tea time spread.
Place the 8 slices of whole grain sandwich bread on a clean work surface.
In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese and 2 tablespoons of honey until smooth and fully combined.
Spread an even layer of the honey-cream cheese mixture on one side of each slice of bread.
Slice the bananas into thin, even rounds (about 1/8 inch thick).
Arrange the banana slices evenly over half of the bread slices, layering them as needed to fully cover the surface.
Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of honey over the banana slices, and sprinkle a light dusting of ground cinnamon on top.
Place the remaining cream cheese-coated bread slices on top of the banana-topped slices, cream cheese side facing down, to create 4 sandwiches.
Trim the crusts off each sandwich using a sharp knife for a clean, elegant presentation (optional).
Cut each sandwich into 4 small squares or triangles, depending on your preference.
Serve immediately as is, or lightly butter the outsides of the sandwiches and toast them in a skillet over medium heat for a warm, crispy variation.
