🛒 Ingredients
- 🍌 1 large ripe banana
- 🥜 2 tbsp peanut butter or almond butter
- 🌾 1/4 cup granola or crushed nuts (such as almonds or pecans)
- 🍓 Optional: Fresh berries, chia seeds, or shredded coconut for garnish

🍳 Instructions
- Prepare the Banana:
- Peel the banana carefully and place it on a clean cutting board. Choose a firm yet ripe banana for the best texture.
- Spread the Peanut Butter:
- Using a butter knife or the back of a spoon, spread an even layer of peanut butter around the entire surface of the banana. Ensure the banana is fully coated to help the toppings stick.
