A quick and easy recipe for homemade peanut butter and jelly sandwiches that are freezer-friendly and perfect for lunchboxes or snacks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 slices of soft white or whole wheat sandwich bread
  • 1/2 cup creamy or crunchy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup jelly or jam (grape, strawberry, or raspberry)
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon butter for spreading on bread

Instructions

  1. Lay out bread slices on a clean surface. Optionally, spread about 1 teaspoon of butter on one side of each slice to prevent sogginess after freezing.
  2. Spread 1 tablespoon of peanut butter evenly on the unbuttered side of 4 bread slices, avoiding the edges.
  3. Spread 1 tablespoon of jelly on top of the peanut butter layer, leaving a small border near the edges.
  4. Place the remaining 4 slices of bread, buttered side down if used, on top of the peanut butter and jelly layers. Gently press down to stick together.
  5. Using a 3-inch round cookie cutter or a small glass, cut out perfect circles from the sandwiches.
  6. Place sandwich circles on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Press edges lightly with fingers and crimp with a fork to seal tightly.
  7. Freeze sandwiches flat on the tray for about 1 hour or until firm.
  8. Transfer frozen sandwiches to plastic freezer bags or airtight containers, removing excess air to prevent freezer burn.
  9. Thaw sandwiches at room temperature for about 30 minutes or overnight in the refrigerator before eating.

Notes

Use soft, fresh bread for best results. Seal edges tightly with a fork to prevent filling leaks. Chill runny peanut butter before spreading. Freeze sandwiches individually on a tray before storing together to avoid sticking.
