Layered Banana Bread Toast

When you’re in quarantine and baking banana bread becomes a weekly activity, you suddenly wonder what to do with all of that damn banana bread! This recipe is one of a series called Banana Bread Five Ways, full of creative, easy ways to make more of your quarantine baking.

This is obviously the easiest way to ever enjoy banana bread. After a day or two of it sitting out, there’s nothing quite like adding a thick slice of banana bread in the toaster, topping it with your favorite spread, and enjoying it on the go.

I’m sharing the best way to layer your toast, of course highlighting my personal favorite: peanut butter!
