Why you'll love it

The secret to success on the keto diet is to find low-carb ways to enjoy your favorite foods. Don't deny yourself.

Do you like sandwiches? What about a classic PB&J? Then I have good news for you! You can make keto peanut butter jelly sandwiches just as easily as the kind you remember as a kid.

In fact, you might be surprised at how easy it is to stick to the keto diet when you find out there are sliced loaves of keto bread at the store.

This keto version looks and tastes like a classic sandwich you ate as a child or teen. It's dairy-free and gluten-free; you can't even tell it is grain-free.

Rejoice! Living a ketogenic lifestyle doesn't mean you give up sandwiches. This tastes so close to the original peanut butter and jelly sandwich that kids love it too.

Ingredients

There are literally three simple ingredients in this keto peanut butter sandwich. Here's a bit more information about what I used to make it.

Keto bread slices

You'll use two slices of keto-friendly sliced bread. I have a recipe for keto yeast bread that looks and tastes like wheat bread.

You can also save yourself time and buy low-carb grain-free bread from the store! One of my go-to brands is Carbonaut.

Natural peanut butter

Use low-carb peanut butter as the next ingredient. Make sure it doesn't have any added sugars or ingredients added to it.

If you want sweet peanut butter, just drizzle some sugar-free honey on it.

Sugar-free jelly

You can either make a jelly recipe at home, like this sugar-free raspberry jam, or buy sugar-free strawberry jam. I always have a jar of ChocZero jam in my pantry at all times!

Please note: Check out the recipe card at the bottom for a full list of ingredients used to make this low-carb recipe.

Tips

• Buy keto bread from the store. I have a recipe for keto yeast bread. You can buy low-carb bread from the store if you read the labels and agree with the ingredients.
• Use peanut butter moderately. Some people don't like peanut butter on keto. Research it and decide for yourself.
• Monitor amounts of ingredients. Bread, peanut butter, and jelly all have different amounts of carbs in them. Track your macros, so you don't accidentally go over.

Instructions

Making a keto peanut butter and jelly sandwich is one of the easiest things you will ever make!

Spread jelly

Spread your favorite sugar-free strawberry jam on one slice of bread.

Add peanut butter

Next, spread peanut butter on the other slice of bread.

Make keto peanut butter and jelly sandwich

Stick the two slices of bread together, and your tasty sandwich is ready to enjoy.

Optional: Cut your sandwich in half. This really makes it feel like a classic PB&J from childhood. I usually just eat it without slicing it.

️ Serving suggestions

This keto peanut butter and jelly sandwich is a really quick and easy lunch.

Serve it with a glass of unsweetened almond milk. You'll definitely want the milk when you eat the sticky peanut butter.

Add a super-quick salad to the side while you eat this sandwich. To match the flavors of the strawberry jam, serve it with spinach strawberry salad.

It will also taste really good with a quick keto broccoli and bacon salad. This salad is salty, crunchy, and savory - the perfect opposite of this sweet sandwich.

Variations

There are a bunch of different ways you can change this low-carb sandwich to make it your favorite lunch. Here are a few of my favorite variations. If you make a change to it, let me know in the comments.

• Make a chaffle sandwich. Instead of bread slices, serve it on a chaffle.
• Toast the bread first. Toast it until the low-carb bread is golden brown.
• Use nut or seed butters. You can still make a keto PB sandwich and use a different type of spread.
• Make it fruity. Add sliced strawberries on the side or even on top of the peanut butter.
• Spice the peanut butter. Sprinkle some cinnamon on top of the peanut butter. This will give it a richer and almost sweet taste.
