The Best Peanut Butter and Jelly Recipes

Tired of the traditional peanut butter and jelly sandwich but love the peanut butter jelly combo? Try out the best peanut butter and jelly recipes for a switch!

Growing up, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches were my jam. (See what I did there?) Of course, we grew up without a ton of money, so I didn’t have many options, but I did truly enjoy peanut butter jelly sandwiches. While I don’t have them as much now, it’s still something I resort back to in a pinch. It’s also something my girls love. Even if I don’t have peanut butter and jelly sandwiches often, I love the sweet and savoriness of the combo together in other recipes.

Last week, we put together a series of some new peanut butter and jelly creations that were a huge hit!

• peanut butter and jelly cookies
• peanut butter and jelly smoothie
• grilled peanut butter and jelly sandwich
• peanut butter and jelly burger
• peanut butter and jelly ice cream

I know that the peanut butter and jelly burger through some for a loop, but everyone that had tried it before confirmed that it was a legit amazing thing.

Is Peanut Butter and Jelly good for you?

Yes and No. It ultimately comes down to which products you use to make your peanut butter and jelly recipes. A standard peanut  butter and jelly sandwich can be healthy for you even though jelly is made with sugar.  You can choose a bread that is made from whole grains. Then, make your own homemade peanut butter so the only ingredient is peanuts and possibly a raw honey (so a natural source of sugar). Lastly, choose a no sugar added jam instead of a jelly made with high fructose corn syrup.  These simple swaps will actually make your peanut butter and jelly sandwich and other peanut butter jelly recipes healthier.
