Freezer Nut Butter Sandwiches

If you are not making these for a quick easy lunch or snack, you are missing out. These freeze perfectly as long as you know the trick. We used peanut butter but you could certainly use any nut butter of your choice. We make our own refrigerator jams each week with whatever leftover berries and fruit we have on hand. Leftover bananas are also delightful in these sandwiches.

Equipment

Wax Paper
Butter knife

Ingredients

8 Tbsp Peanut Butter
4 Tbsp Jelly Or bananas, fruit
8 Slices Whole Wheat Bread

Instructions

Pre-cut 4 slices of wax paper and lay them on the counter
Lay the bread slices onto the wax paper
Spread 1 tablespoons of peanut butter on 8 of the slices, here is the tip: make sure to coat the bread slice to the edge of the crust. This keeps the bread good on the sandwich while in the freezer.
If you are using jelly spread 1 tablespoon onto 4 slices of the bread
If you are using bananas, thinly slice the banana lengthwise and lay on top of the peanut butter
Do not cut the sandwiches, leave them whole until ready to eat.
Wrap each sandwich in its wax paper and them place all the sandwiches into a plastic bag. Lay them flat on a tray in the freezer. Remove tray once they are fully frozen.
When you want to eat one make sure you take it out at least 2 hours ahead of time. You can also pack into a lunch bag with a cold pack.

Notes

Making your own jelly allows you to control added sugar

Making these sandwiches with bananas is a good alternative to the jelly since bananas have no added sugar.

Take a sandwich out of the freezer and place in the fridge in the morning for an afternoon lunch.
