It’s a beautiful thing when the PB&J sandwich goes all cookie on us.
I really think cookies are the real identity for the PB&J combo. Sandwich-Smamwich. It just took PB&J a while to find itself. But now it has and it’s never looked better. You can’t look bad as a cookie. You just can’t.
I think everyone goes through a phase after elementary/middle/high school where they are completely burnt out on peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. One too many soggy school lunch sandwiches. I gave myself a palate cleanse from the nutty & sweet sandwiches for about 8 years after high school. Now I’m like bring me all the gourmet-style peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. I want fancy, whole grain bread with fancy, no sugar added nut butter and fancy, cherry jelly.
And I don’t want a little tiny scoop of nut butter on the sandwich either…there needs to be a healthy slather. And that is the ultimate key to creating a PB&J sandwich that completely crushes it.
But we’re moving on from sandwiches. Moving to bigger and better and tastier things. Creative PB&J infused things like:
Grown Up PB + J Cookies from How Sweet It Is
Peanut Butter Jelly Macaroons from Eats Well With Others
Banana, Peanut Butter & Jelly on Olive Oil, Sea Salt & Cocoa Bread
PB & J Oatmeal Crumble Bars via The Nutritious Kitchen
PB & J Cookies stuffed with Banana Slices
Peanut Butter & Jelly Coconut Cashew Sandwich Cookies via Averie Cooks
Vegan PB&J Pie from Minimalist Baker
And now I’ve partnered with Healthy Aperture Network & California Raisins to create yet another PB&J combo. The recipe for No-bake PBandJ Thumbprint Cookies with NaturallySweet California Raisins is just one click away. With the natural sweetness of raisins, these cookies have no added sugar and are still just as perfectly sweet as can be.
