Chocolate and banana panini
Stale bread turns into a delectable treat. Kids will love this after school (and you will too!). Try using Nutella if you don't have plain chocolate to hand.
Ingredients
Serves: 1
- 1/2 tablespoon butter or margarine
- 1 pinch of cinnamon
- 1/2 a banana, chopped
- 2 slices bread (preferably stale)
- 2 tablespoons chopped chocolate

- Melt the butter in a frying pan, add a pinch of cinnamon and banana. Cook the banana until it becomes coloured, but still firm. Reserve.
- Layer the banana and chocolate on one piece of bread. Close with the other piece, spread a bit of butter on the outside, and griddle in a panini press until golden. Serve hot.

Something else. I used wholemeal bread and also skipped the butter. I used Nutella only b/c that's what I had in the cupboard - I'd try reg chocolate in the future, though. I just essentially made a banana and nutella sandwich, sprinkled with cinnamon, and then pan-fried it with a heavy saucepan placed on top (to mimic the panini press that I don't have!). Don't skip the cinnamon - it really makes this delicious, even though you can't really pinpoint the cinnamon flavour when you're devouring it ! - 30 Nov 2009
Absolutely delicious! We've all had banana and chocolate crepes; I think this may be better! I took a few shortcuts, but all in all this is a fab snack idea (or naughty breakfast?) and I'll definitely make again! - 30 Nov 2009
