Sunbutter Banana DIY Uncrustables
A deliciously creamy, sweet-and-savory, nut-free sandwich option for kids! How to make uncrustables at home using just a biscuit or cookiecutter & a fork to crimp the bread around the edges.
Ingredients
Sunbutter Banana Uncrustables
- 2 slices whole wheat bread, or bread of choice
- 1-2 Tbsp sunflower seed butter
- ¼–½ banana, mashed
Equipment
- 3-inch circular cookie/biscuit cutter + fork
- -or-
- uncrustables sandwich cutters
Instructions
- Depending on the size of your bread, roll out gently with a rolling pin to ensure each slice is large enough to fit the shape of your cookie cutter.
- Use a 3-inch circular cookie/biscuit cutter to cut out DIY uncrustables shape.
- Spread sunflower seed butter onto both cut-out bread circles—a thick layer on one slice, and a thinner layer on the other slice.
- Mash banana and dollop onto piece of bread with the thicker layer of sunflower seed butter. Top with other bread slice and crimp edges together with a fork to seal.
- (Or, you can assemble your sandwich and then use an uncrustables sandwich cutter to do the cutting & crimping all in one!)
- To freeze, place all DIY uncrustables on a flat baking sheet and freeze for 2-3 hours. Once frozen, transfer into individual freezer-safe bags or containers and store in the freezer up to 2 months.
Notes
