How to Make Banana Dogs

  1. Gently open a hot dog bun.
  2. Spread 1 tablespoon of peanut butter evenly on the inside of one half of the bun.
  3. Place a ripe banana (sliced lengthwise if needed to fit the bun) inside the bun, mimicking a hot dog.

  5. Gently close the bun and enjoy your Banana Dog immediately!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
