Ingredients for Air fryer Peanut Butter and Jelly

Here are the ingredients you will need

Bread- White or brown- i have used the regular kind.You can also use sourdough bread.

Peanut Butter- Store bought or Homemade Peanut butter with 0 sugar and oils! This way you can control the sweetness and the texture of the peanut butter.

Jelly- You can use anything you have on you.If you are worried about the sugar, try making this homemade Chia Jam.

Butter- Butter adds so much to this sandwich.To make this pbj vegan, you can substitute butter with avocado oil instead.

Spreading butter on both sides of the sandwich makes for crispier pbj.

Best bread for PBJ

The best bread as per many is classic old white bread.Something soft and pillowy.

That said, we usually buy multigrain breads or sour dough.Once you get used to eating other healthier breads, you will not find much missing!

How to air fry Peanut Butter and Jelly

Step 1: Spread butter on one side of both the breads.

Step 2: Flip the bread.Add peanut butter on one and jelly on another.

Step 3: Airfry the PBJ for 5 minutes on one side.Flip and airfry for another 2 minutes.

Step 4: Open the airfryer basket and remove the airfried pbj and enjoy!

Healthier Air Fryer Peanut Butter and Jelly

Change the bread to something local, artisanal like sour dough bread.You can buy breads made with alternate flours like millets and rye.You can also use a tortilla and grill it the same way!

Use fruits instead of jelly- Make your airfried pbj into an airfried pbf - peanut butter and fruit sanwich.Bananas, Strawberries, kiwis & Mango will make an excellent addition.

You can even leave out the jelly and use chocolate spread instead.

Add some Nuts and seeds for some added texture

Storing & Reheating Air fried PBJ

So the biggest question i get is- whether the sanwich will hold its texture when packed.

It's such a shame when you pack a delicious sanwich and it becomes soggy by lunch time.

Here is the trick- Let your sanwich cool down on the cutting board before packing!

If you pack your sanwich when its hot, steam will form.That will make your sanwich soggy!

All you have to do is, place your sanwich without wrapping it up, in the lunch box! Easy peesy!
