Ingredients
- 1 large banana
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 3 tablespoons granola
- 2 teaspoons raisins
- 2 whole strawberries (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Peel the banana and place it on a cutting board.
Step 2
Using a knife, carefully slice the banana in half lengthwise so you have two long, flat pieces.
Step 3
Spread 1 tablespoon of peanut butter on each banana half. Use the back of a spoon or a butter knife for easy spreading.
Step 4
Sprinkle 1.5 tablespoons of granola over each peanut-butter-coated banana half. Press the granola gently into the peanut butter so it sticks.
Step 5
Add raisins on top of the granola for a burst of sweetness. Place the raisins evenly to ensure every bite has some.
Step 6
If using, slice the strawberries and place them decoratively around the plate for garnish.
Step 7
Serve immediately and enjoy your Monkey Lunch!
