Ingredients

2 slices of bread
2 tbsp smooth peanut butter
½ banana, thinly sliced

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Cut circles out of slices of bread using a cup.
Spread a thin layer of peanut butter in the center of the bread circle, leaving off a little space around the ends.
Add 3-4 thin slices of banana on one end of the bread.
Fold over the bread and press down the sides to seal.
Use a fork to seal down the edges on both sides.

Notes

You may use this same method to make DIY full-sized Uncrustables. Simply use two circles from two slices of bread for one sandwich and seal the entire circumference of the circle with a fork. If you prefer to use an actual mold, these sandwich molds are great to make different shapes!
If the sandwich is hard to close when you are pinching to seal it with your fingers, dab a little water on the edges to add a little stickiness.
