Servings 8 sandwiches

Equipment

  • Sandwich cutter & sealer (see notes below)

Ingredients
  

  • 16 slices whole wheat bread
  • 8 tbsp peanut butter
  • 8 tbsp strawberry or grape jelly

Instructions
 

  • Spread 1 tbsp of peanut butter and 1 tbsp of jelly onto one slice of bread.
  • Top with another slice of bread.
  • Place the sandwich in a sandwich sealer and press down firmly to seal the edges.
  • Remove the sandwich from the sealer and carefully remove the crusts.
  • Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
  • Serve & enjoy, or save them for later! (see notes)

Notes

 
  • I typically get about 8 sandwiches from one loaf of whole wheat bread.
 
  • Storage: Wrap each sandwich in plastic wrap. Then place the wrapped sandwiches in a single layer inside a freezer-safe bag or airtight container. Freeze for up to 1 month. You can also put them in a fridge for up to 4 days. 
 
  • You can use white bread, multigrain bread, or any sandwich bread you prefer instead of whole wheat!
 
  • For a nut-free version, I recommend substituting the peanut butter with sunflower seed butter.
