This recipe offers a quick and easy way to make homemade whole wheat Uncrustables that are soft, well-sealed, and perfect for snacks or lunches. They combine wholesome whole grain bread with creamy peanut butter and jelly for a nostalgic, convenient treat.

Ingredients

  • Whole wheat sandwich bread (soft, about 8 slices)
  • Creamy peanut butter (about 1 tablespoon per sandwich)
  • Grape jelly or jam (about 1 tablespoon per sandwich)
  • Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
  • Butter or margarine (optional, softened, for brushing edges)

Instructions

  1. Prepare your workspace by laying out whole wheat bread slices on a clean flat surface.
  2. Spread about 1 tablespoon of creamy peanut butter evenly over one slice of bread, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
  3. Spread about 1 tablespoon of grape jelly or your chosen jam on top of the peanut butter, staying inside the border.
  4. Place a second slice of bread gently over the jelly, aligning edges carefully.
  5. Press the edges firmly with your fingers to stick both slices together.
  6. Use a 3-inch round cookie cutter or a glass to cut out a circle, pressing down firmly to seal edges. Optionally brush softened butter on edges before pressing for extra seal.
  7. Remove crusts automatically trimmed by the cutter.
  8. Press edges again gently with fingers or bottom of glass to ensure no gaps.
  9. Optionally dust sandwiches lightly with powdered sugar.
  10. Place sandwiches on a baking sheet or plate, cover with plastic wrap, and chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to firm up or freeze for longer storage.

Notes

Use slightly day-old bread or spritz fresh bread lightly with water to prevent cracking. Press edges firmly but gently to avoid leaks. Chill sandwiches before packing to keep shape and reduce mess. Optionally use a fork to crimp edges for a sturdier seal. Freeze extras for quick snacks later.
