Have you seen those crustless peanut butter sandwiches in the store? Instead of buying them, here’s how to make your own healthier and tastier version at home.
- Servings Makes 2 pockets
Ingredients
HERE’S WHAT YOU NEED:
- 2 slices soft sandwich bread
- 2–3 tablespoons peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons honey or jam
- Small round cookie cutter
Preparation
HERE’S WHAT YOU DO:
1. Roll one slice of the bread flat with a rolling pin.
2. Cut out two small circles with a round cookie cutter.
3. Spread a little peanut butter on one bread circle and a little honey or jam on the other. Don’t go all the way to the edges.
4. Put the circles together to make a round sandwich. Using the tines of a fork, seal the sandwich pocket. Repeat the steps with the second slice of bread.
