PB&J Donut Sandwiches

August 20, 2015 by Cara

Do you have a crust-hater in your family? Then this is just the sandwich idea you need! See your kid’s lunchbox differently and reconstruct the typical peanut butter and jelly same ol’ by cutting your gluten free bread into the shapes of donuts and creating an inside out sandwich. And it’s just an easy lunch idea to put together that you don’t need outlandish artistic talent to recreate this! Anyone can do this and it doesn’t take much time out of your day either. Oh, and the kiddos will love it. PB&J Donut Sandwiches topped with sprinkles? What was that? Did I just hear a win-win situation. Heck yes, I did.

    Just curious, what kind of gluten-free bread do you eat? I have a little one that is allergic to the top 8, plus many more. The only gf bread I’ve found that doesn’t have any allergens is Ener-g and it is not the most appetizing, I must say. I tried it and immediately spit it out.

    Holy creativity. This is so cute and fun, but so simple! You always think of the best ideas! My only question is how are we defining kid here? Because I want one!

      We are not discriminatory over here at Fork and Beans as to how you define kid. I mean, take me for example. I don’t have them yet I still get the biggest kick out of this stuff so I give your inner child full permission to get more creative with your food! 😉 xo
