PB&J Sushi Rolls

Lizzie Marie's peanut butter and jelly gets all rolled-up and sliced for sushi-style fun

by Kate Sonders

These fun "sushi" rolls reinvent the classic PB&J sandwich. Lizzie Marie Likness uses almond butter instead of peanut butter because of what she calls “its amazing flavor” and serves the sandwich sushi style. Try to find "No-Stir" almond butter, which is a lot less messy than regular almond butter — the almond oil rises to the top of the jar and it’s hard to stir it back into the almond butter without making a mess. Likness prefers blackberry jam but encourages cooks to use their favorite flavor or experiment with new flavors, to use jam that is 100 percent all-natural fruit, and to use organic ingredients whenever possible. Watch a step-by-step video of this recipe.

2 slices whole-grain bread, crusts removed
Spoon out enough almond butter or peanut butter to spread a thin layer on bread
Spoon out enough 100 percent all-natural fruit jam to spread a thin layer on bread

1. Flatten bread with rolling pin. Spread a thin layer of almond butter or peanut butter on one slice of bread. Top the almond butter or peanut butter with a thin layer of jam. Roll up bread tightly.

2. Slice into four pieces with a serrated knife. Repeat with second slice of bread.

Yield: Serves 2.
