Inspired by Elvis Presley’s passion for peanut butter and banana sandwiches, this unique peanut butter sandwich is great for a quick anytime treat. In this version, pumpkin and peanut butter, two nutrition powerhouses, blend easily to create a spread without all the fat and calories of plain peanut butter. Simply spread the light and creamy pumpkin-peanut butter over whole wheat bread and cover with banana slices. Even your family will say "thank you very much"!

Pumpkin made better

Paul Miner from Essex, Ontario, Canada

Just adds the right touch. Easy and everyone will enjoy it.
Great!

Absolutely Delicious!!
new, fun way to eat peanut butter

Emily Kindred from ,

this is great. i love peanut butter, and the pumpkin adds a nice autumnal flavoring to it. i would, however, suggest adding cinnamon or nutmeg- I added some of both- to the pumpkin/PB mixture to 'sweeten' it up a little bit. also, the peanut butter to pumpkin ratio is a bit off- in my opinion, there should be slightly more peanut butter than pumpkin, or else the mushy pumpkin is a bit too overpowering. overall, though, a great, easy recipe!
something different

We would of never thought of putting pumpkin in a peanut butter sandwich, but these were awesome.

Barbara Savage from Marion, MI

This recipe provided a unique twist on one of my favorite sandwiches (peanut butter, jelly, and banana), and I really enjoyed the combination of flavors. Delicious and nutritious!
Elivis would have loved it!

Belinda H from Homer, NY

My husband loves peanut butter and I have made the "traditional" Elvis peanut butter and banana sandwich which he loves. I didn't know how he would like this but he loved it! I packed it in his lunch as a surprise; he wants more!
Fun to make, Yummy to eat!

Dawn Rice from Council Bluffs, IA

The children had a blast making this & loved it! And to be honest I even liked it!
Combo

C Bostan from Pitt Meadows, BC

What an interesting combination of ingredients, never would have thought of this....can't wait to try it.
Surprised Twist for Banana Sandwich

Carole Thomas from Lumberton, NC

This was an amazing combination. I hesitated to prepare this with the fear of spoiling my favorite sandwich...banana slices and mayonaise...sometimes adding the peanut butter. I left the mayo off and added the pumpkin with the peanut butter, creating a delightful change. It's a great way to use leftover pumpkin from another recipe.

MMMM!! Easy, quick and sooo good. Even the kids can make these wonderful sandwiches! Enjoy some today!!
Oh yum.

Lizzy from

I have a three year old daughter who eats the same thing every day for lunch: a peanut butter sandwich, no jelly. She loved this meal. I loved that there is a wonderful veggie boost in it. The spread is so wonderfully tasty and smooth, my little girl asks to lick the butter knife.
Yummy Sandwich

ann ferraro from Watertown, MA

What a treat. I grew up eating banana sandwiches, then discovered peanut butter and banana, yum, NOW, another favorite in the family...pumpkin! Surprised everybody with an even more nutritious, tasty treat for lunch but we also enjoy anytime we want something delicious to eat!
Quick & tasty

Evelyn Blackford from EL CERRITO, CA

I've always liked Peanut Butter & banana sandwiches, and I was surprised at how well the pumpkin blended in with the PB & banana. This was very easy to make, and is a good way to use canned pumpkin that is left over when another recipe only calls for part of a can.
Pumpkin Peanut Butter Sandwich

NICOLE RENNER from WYANET, IL

This was good and I liked that it had the pumpkin mixed in for an added health benefit. The recipe I may make again.
I tried this before the recipe came out...

Rachel Perisho from NORTH NEWTON, KS

I am so pleased to see recipes that support my perceptions of what is delicious. I was quite tickled to see an idea very close to a concoction that I have made myself, although I like to keep the puree and the PB separate to really taste the flavors. I also like to spice it up a bit with whatever I may have on hand - nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon, or pumpkin pie spice (of course!). This also works well with soy nut butter (crunchy preferred). For another orange veggie and PB combination, try mashed sweet potato. Definitely a bit more unique but just as tasty.
Thank You Very Much Pumpkin Peanut Butter Sandwich

SUE YOUNG from SHALIMAR, FL

Thank you very much for a wonderful and healthy sandwich. I made this for my 86 year old Mother along with a cup of hot tea, she loves it!!
wonderful

JUDY ESTES from INDIANAPOLIS, IN

Wow to get picky kids to eat something is hard to do, but they all loved this. We even tried with alittle cinnamon. Just wonderful. Thanks again.
Elvis would love this one!

Linda Rice from WHARTON, NJ

Who would have thought of this combination? Kids loved it, easy to make & a nice change from using jams or jellies! Elvis would be a fan!
What a great nutritional treat!

janet schwarz from gahanna, OH

Not only is this sandwich delicious--I have a very fussy teenager, to whom Peanut Butter sandwiched with a Banana is the best meal--the pumpkin adds flavor, texture, and a wonderful boost of Vitamin A!
