Ingredients
  

Core Ingredients

  • 2 slices of whole-grain bread: Opt for whole-grain or multigrain bread to maximize fiber and nutrients. Gluten-free bread works just as well if needed.
  • 2 tablespoons of peanut butter: Choose a natural or organic variety for a creamy texture and healthier option. Crunchy peanut butter can add extra texture if preferred.
  • 1 –2 tablespoons of fruit jelly or jam: Go with your favorite flavor—strawberry grape, or raspberry are classics. For a healthier choice, try a low-sugar or all-natural jam.

Optional Add-Ons

  • Sliced banana or fresh berries: Add a fruity twist that complements the peanut butter and jelly.
  • Honey or agave syrup: A drizzle can enhance sweetness naturally.
  • Chia seeds or flaxseeds: Boost the nutritional content with these superfoods.
  • Almond or cashew butter: Perfect for those looking for peanut alternatives.

Tools You'll Need

  • A butter knife or spatula for spreading.
  • A small cutting board or clean surface for assembling.

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients

  • Lay out all your ingredients and tools for easy access.
  • Ensure the bread slices are fresh and intact to prevent tearing during spreading.

Step 2: Spread the Peanut Butter

  • Place one slice of whole-grain bread on a clean surface or cutting board.
  • Use a butter knife or spatula to spread a generous layer of peanut butter evenly across the surface, ensuring you reach the edges to maximize every bite.
  • For a thicker, more indulgent sandwich, add an extra tablespoon of peanut butter.

Step 3: Add the Jelly or Jam

  • Take the second slice of bread and spread your chosen jelly or jam across one side.
  • Apply an even layer to avoid soggy spots, but don’t overdo it—balance is key.

Step 4: Assemble the Sandwich

  • Gently place the jelly-covered slice on top of the peanut butter-covered slice, with the spread sides facing inward.
  • Press down lightly to seal the sandwich.

Step 5: Slice and Serve

  • For an appealing presentation, slice the sandwich diagonally or into halves.
  • Wipe the knife between cuts to maintain a clean, tidy appearance.
