Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Panini
by Tarla Dalal
When we think of Panini, savoury versions are the first to come to our mind. Still, the Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Panini proves that the sweet ones are equally tempting.
Panini is a special type of grilled sandwich, which is made with exotic breads like baguette, ciabetta and michetta. The bread is buttered generously and packed with exciting fillings before cooking it on a griller.
This fabulous version combines the nutty notes of Nutella and peanut butter with the pleasant fruity taste of bananas, to give your taste buds a top-class treat.
Remember that Panini is never made with regular sliced bread, so if you cannot lay your hands on a variety of Panini bread, use hot dog rolls instead.
