Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 slices of bread (white, whole wheat, or your choice)
  • 2 tablespoons creamy or crunchy peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons jelly or jam (such as strawberry or grape)


Instructions

  1. Prepare the bread: Lay the two slices of bread flat on a cutting board to create an easy-to-assemble surface.
  2. Spread peanut butter: Evenly spread 2 tablespoons of creamy or crunchy peanut butter over one slice of bread, covering the surface completely to get the perfect balance of flavor.
  3. Spread jelly or jam: Spread 2 tablespoons of your preferred jelly or jam on the other slice of bread carefully to avoid dripping.
  4. Assemble the sandwich: Press the two slices of bread together with the peanut butter and jelly sides facing each other, ensuring the fillings are contained inside.
  5. Slice and serve: Optionally, slice the sandwich in half diagonally or vertically for easier eating and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Choose your favorite type of bread to customize your sandwich.
  • Use natural peanut butter for a healthier option without added sugars or oils.
  • Try different jelly flavors to vary the taste, like raspberry, blueberry, or apricot.
  • For a fun twist, add sliced bananas or honey inside the sandwich.
  • If packing for later, keep the sandwich wrapped tightly to prevent drying out.
