I recently submitted the peanut butter hot dog recipe to Allrecipes.com. Apparently, submitted recipe goes through a review process and even if it is accepted, it can take several months to appear on the site. Well, the peanut butter hot dog slipped through in under 2 weeks! You can view it here: Peanut Butter Hot Dogs.
The excitement provoked me to post some modifications to the original.

Original
2 slices soft whole wheat bread

drizzle of honey (optional)

Prepare like normal. Spread peanut butter onto each slice of bread and place half of a banana down the middle of each slice as shown above. Fold up and place any optional ingredients on top of the banana.
Mexican Style
1 (8in) whole wheat tortilla
2T cinnamon raisin peanut butter
1 banana
grape or strawberry preserves(optional)
pinch of chipotle or cayenne pepper (optional)
Burrito: Spread peanut butter on one half of tortilla. Spread jelly on the other half, if using. Place banana on edge of the jelly or plain side and roll up. Consume, pack to go, or toast in a pan.
Quesadilla: Spread peanut butter on one half of the tortilla. Slice the banana into 1/4″ slices and arrange on top of the peanut butter half. Sprinkle chipotle or cayenne powder onto bananas if using. Fold tortilla over and spray the top with cooking spray. Place in a pan preheated on medium-high heat. Flip after about 45 seconds, or until toasted. After another 30 seconds, remove from pan and cut into four wedges. Dip into grape preserves or strawberry yogurt.
