Grab two slices of bread, your favorite peanut butter, some jelly, and optional extras like banana slices, honey, or even bacon. No matter what you choose, the following steps will help you create a great lunch.
To start, spread the desired amount of peanut butter over one side of each slice of bread. Make sure both slices are equally covered, but be careful not to put too much, as it can overpower the jelly. Next, spread the desired amount of jelly over the same side of one of the pieces of bread. Make sure to evenly spread the jelly across the bread, and to use about the same amount as you did with the peanut butter.
Once the bread is prepped and ready, carefully begin assembling the sandwich. Place the two slices of bread together, one with peanut butter and jelly and the other with just peanut butter.
You can either leave the sandwich as is or if you would like, you can add any optional extras such as banana slices, honey, or bacon. All of these additions add extra flavor, texture, and nutrition to your sandwich.
When the sandwich is complete, you can either eat it right away, or if you are preparing it ahead of time, you can wrap it in plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator for later. If stored in the refrigerator, the sandwich should stay fresh for about 3 days.
Now that you know how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, why not get creative and mix it up with different nut butters, jams, and extras. Enjoy!
