For me, the summer of ’07 was the summer of peanut butter. I had just graduated from college and was attending graduate school the following fall. My dependence on peanut butter was increasing with each passing day and I was eager to experiment but more than anything, I had a lot of free time. As soon as I started making cinnamon raisin peanut butter I fell in love, and substituted it for all of my peanut butter needs. I urged my mother to try it (a developing PB fanatic) and she decided to make her own the following day. Rather than make a toasted cinnamon raisin PB and banana sandwich, she made this. This is one of those simple recipes that turns out way beyond expectations, creating a flavor explosion that keeps your taste buds begging for more. I named the recipe after my mother (Linda) and perfected it in the following months. This sandwich was also the basis for the cinnamon raisin peanut butter & peach bran muffins.
