Garten recently shared her secret for making the perfect peanut butter and jelly sandwich with 3 million followers on her Instagram page: “Lunch date! Jeffrey and I make PB&Js, drive down to the beach, sit in the car, and listen to the podcast The Daily,” she wrote.

So if you’re craving some peanut butter and jelly right now, here are the exact ingredients Garten uses so you can recreate it.

Her Instructions

As she always does, she put a little bit of extra effort which helped make the sandwich look and taste perfect. The ingredients include lightly toasted Pepperidge Farm white bread, Skippy creamy peanut butter, and Eli Zabar’s raspberry jam.

The fact that the bread is toasted makes all the difference in the flavor and also adds texture. It also has a practical advantage: it prevents the bread from soaking in the ingredients if you make the sandwiches upfront.

It’s that simple! Now that you know the exact ingredients she uses, you can make your next peanut butter and jelly sandwich with style!

Grill It

If grilling can take a plain cheese sandwich from boring to amazing, why wouldn’t it be able to do the same for your peanut butter and jelly? Toasting your PB&J up will get the filling even gooier and help the flavors mix together.

Deep Fry It

Sure, it may not be the healthiest lunch option, but deep frying your PB&J will give it a whole new level of ooze, crunch, and deliciousness.

Replace the Bread

Who decided that peanut butter and jelly sandwiches can only go on bread, anyway? Switching up the bread in your sandwich for something else is a great way to take a PB&J to the next level. So whether you sandwich your filling in between two waffles, pancakes, slices of French bread or pound cake, Hawaiian rolls, or roll it up in a crepe, your imagination is the only limit to how creative you can get.

Replace Jelly with Fresh Fruit

Instead of adding jelly, add some fresh fruit like strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries.

Turn it Into a Fluffernutter

Peanut butter and marshmallow fluff sandwiches, known as fluffernutters, are a New England classic and the creamy, yet sweet sandwich is a favorite among kids and adults.

Make an Elvis Sandwhich

Sometimes referred to an Elvis sandwich, the rock and roller’s sandwich of choice was peanut butter, mashed banana, and sometimes bacon pan-fried.

Turn it Into French Toast

Upgrade your French toast by turning it into a PB&J. Just make the PB&J sandwich as usual and then dip it in the egg batter like you would when making French toast and fry it.

Swap Jelly For Nutella

Chocolate and peanut butter are a match made in heaven, so naturally peanut butter and Nutella pair so well together. Many peanut butter brands even make their own PB and chocolate spreads.

The great thing about PB&Js is that you can try all different kinds of fruit preserves on the sandwich to alter its flavor. Why not give these options a try the next time you make one?

Grape Jelly

The most classic option for making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich is grape jelly. This pectin-infused jelly is beloved due to its strong sweetness that provides a perfect interplay with the more subdued, salty flavor of peanut butter and white bread.

Blueberry Jam

Blueberries are one of my favorite fruits, containing a relatively low sugar content and a high dose of antioxidants. Making a jam out of these little superfruits is easy, and provides for a tangy, toned-down twist on the sweetness version of a PB&J.

Strawberry Jam

Strawberry jam is another popular PB&J choice, providing a great option for a fruit addition to this sandwich. I especially like strawberry jam because it’s neither too sweet nor too tangy, giving a good balance to the sandwich.

Have PB&J join the breakfast table instead of being cramped in a lunchbox. There are many ways you can incorporate PB&J into your breakfast, one way is by adding it to your oatmeal. This will not only give you the protein kick from the peanuts the added jelly will give you the sweetness oats naturally lack. 

If plain oatmeal doesn’t peak your fancy, another breakfast application to try is PB&J oatmeal bars. Simply combine rolled oats with peanut butter, jelly, whole peanuts, and whatever else you have on hand, and bake! These on-the-go bars are great for those hectic mornings without sacrificing nutrition or flavor.  

PB&J Cupcakes

Peanut butter and jelly also naturally lend themselves to dessert. By adding peanut butter to your buttercream frosting and pipping jelly into your mini cakes or muffins, you will have  have something special and nostalgic.
