Notes

Ingredient Substitutions

Bread: Use your favorite bread - white sandwich bread, sourdough, whole wheat, or a gluten-free variety.
Peanut butter: I am partial to creamy, but any nut butter works well in this recipe. Crunchy peanut butter, almond butter, sunflower seed butter, etc.
Jelly: When I say jelly I really mean jam. Jam is made with the whole fruit not just the juice, and (in my opinion) is both more nutritious and delicious. Choose your favorite variety.
Salted Butter. vegan butter spread can be substituted for regular butter if you need to avoid dairy. Mayonnaise is also a great choice (trust me)!

Store

Store leftover sandwiches in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat on the griddle or in a pan on the stovetop.
