Introduction
This is a slight adaptation to a recipe from KeyIngredient.com (http://www.keyingredient.com/recipes/12158060/caramelized-banana-sandwich/). I used Fiber One Whole Wheat bread, which has more fiber, but more calories than other w.w. breads. Instead of grilling the sandwich, I spread the honey/butter mixture onto one side of each piece of bread, then toasted the bread as the bananas were cooking.

-
1 Tbsp softened butter, divided
1 medium banana, peeled and sliced
1 tsp brown sugar
1 tsp honey
½ tsp ground cinnamon, divided
2 slices whole wheat sandwich bread (I used Fiber One W.W. bread)
Tips
Try substituting apples for the banana.
A little peanut butter spread on the inside of the bread would be nice, too.

- Add banana slices
- Sprinkle with brown sugar.
- Cook until caramelized, about 2-3 minutes per side, stirring occasionally.

Meanwhile,
