Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Bread slices
- 2 tablespoons Creamy peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons Homemade strawberry jam (or your favorite jam)
- 1 teaspoon Unsalted butter (optional, for toasting)
- 1 tablespoon Chopped peanuts or granola (optional, for texture)
Instructions
Gather all the ingredients and ensure the peanut butter and jam are at room temperature for easy spreading.
Optional: Lightly butter one side of each bread slice if you plan to toast the sandwich.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. If you’re not toasting, skip this step.
Spread the creamy peanut butter evenly over one side of a bread slice.
Spread the homemade jam evenly over one side of the other bread slice.
Sprinkle chopped peanuts or granola on top of the peanut butter if you want added crunch and texture.
Carefully sandwich the two bread slices together, with the peanut butter and jam sides facing each other.
Optional: Place the sandwich in the skillet and toast each side for 1-2 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove the sandwich from the skillet, let it cool slightly, and then cut it diagonally or into halves for serving.
Enjoy your Special Peanut Butter and Jam Sandwich warm or at room temperature!
