Peanut Butter and Caramelized Banana Toast

I hate bananas. In any form and in any way...I just can’t seem to like them at all. There was a time when my mother really tried to make me eat bananas...convinced me, tricked me, told me innumerable times the various benefits and advantages of eating bananas, but I gave all of them a speedy pass. The first time I thought that banana is useful is while I ate toasts with peanut butter for the first time.

I find peanut butter a little on the drier side and banana complements its taste perfectly. After hearing a lot of babbling about peanut butter and banana combo I decided to give it a try. Crunchy peanut butter spread over crispy golden toasts and lathered with gooey buttery caramelized banana loaded with cinnamon and nutmeg flavour....it is literally  foodgasm. And yes...I do crave banana here.
