Ingredients
Scale
- 8 slices sandwich bread (sturdy white or whole wheat)
- ½ cup sunflower butter (creamy, no added sugar or palm oil)
- ¼ cup jelly or jam (any flavor, seedless preferred)
- Optional: a pinch of salt (if sunflower butter is unsalted)
Instructions
- Lightly toast the bread on the lowest setting until just barely golden. Let cool completely.
- Lay out 4 slices of bread for the bottom halves. Spread about 1 tablespoon of sunflower butter on each, all the way to the edges.
- Spoon about 1 tablespoon of jelly onto the center of each sunflower butter-covered slice. Spread slightly, leaving a ½-inch border.
- Top with the remaining 4 slices of bread, pressing down gently to seal.
- Using a round cookie cutter (3.5 to 4 inches), press down firmly in the center of each sandwich and twist to cut cleanly.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the round sandwiches in a single layer, not touching. Freeze for at least 2 hours until solid.
- Transfer frozen sandwiches to freezer-safe zip-top bags, squeeze out air, seal, and label. Store for up to 3 months.
Notes
Lightly toasting the bread creates a moisture barrier that prevents sogginess. Spread sunflower butter all the way to the edges to seal in the jelly. Flash freezing on a tray before bagging prevents sandwiches from sticking together. Use room-temperature sunflower butter for easier spreading. For best texture, use within 2 months.
