What would you put in a keto sandwich? If you’re leaning towards sweet over savory, keto peanut butter and jelly is it! This keto sandwich recipe features my Wholesome Yum Keto Bread Mix (have you tried it yet?!), sugar-free jelly, and peanut butter. It’s a simple, satisfying, and delicious low carb sandwich.
And when you’re looking for more keto sandwich ideas to make with your freshly made bread, I’m sharing a few below.
Keto sandwich recipes don’t have to be complicated, and my favorite low carb bread mix makes it even easier! I spent months getting this bread mix just right so that it’s the perfect blend of white, fluffy, and chewy, complete with air pockets.
Keto Peanut Butter And Jelly Ingredients
This sandwich is simple and made with just a few ingredients, plus the keto sandwich fillings.
For the bread:
- Wholesome Yum Bread Mix – This low carb bread is made with real food ingredients and specially designed to be light and fluffy.
- Butter – I recommend grass-fed butter for the best flavor, but any kind that’s unsalted will do.
- Eggs – Large size.
- Unsweetened almond milk – You really use any keto milk here, but I always have almond milk on hand, so it’s what I typically use.
For the filling:
- Peanut butter – Look for an all-natural, no-sugar peanut butter like this one. Many peanut butters are sweetened or contain inflammatory oils.
- Keto jelly – Just like the real thing, and totally makes this healthy keto sandwich. You only need 3 ingredients to make it!
How To Make A Keto Sandwich With Peanut Butter And Jelly
Obviously a keto peanut butter and jelly sandwich isn’t too complicated, but I will walk you through how to make my bread mix!
Before you start on the bread, make the keto jelly recipe early enough so that it has time to chill and set. It needs to be at least 5-6 hours in advance, or to be safe, the day before.
Make keto bread
- Cream butter. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the butter until it’s pale and super fluffy. This helps create air pockets in the bread later on.
- Add eggs and milk. Make sure they are room temp, so they don’t solidify the butter.
- Add Wholesome Yum Keto Bread Mix. Beat this in gradually using your mixer.
- Transfer. Spoon the batter into a parchment lined pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake. Place in the oven and let it bake until golden brown.
Make keto peanut butter and jelly
- Spread. Spread sliced bread with sugar-free peanut butter and sugar-free jelly.
- Combine. Stack the bread slices, slice in half, and enjoy! (These are very filling so half is usually enough.)
Storage Instructions
Many keto sandwich recipes store very well. This one can be made a day in advance and stored in the fridge.
Otherwise, just have the keto jelly and keto bread mix ready-to-go, and your sandwich will be ready in minutes.
Keto Friendly PB&J FAQs
Is peanut butter and jelly keto?
No, most peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are NOT keto, as they are made with flour-based breads and sugar-sweetened jelly.
But they are delicious, so I thought we needed a keto version made with keto jelly, sugar-free peanut butter, and keto bread mix to keep it easy.
Can I use a different bread?
Yes, you can. My keto bread mix is the easiest and seriously delicious, but you can also swap it out for any of my keto bread recipes. Here are a few favorites:
Can I use a different jelly?
Of course! You can try my strawberry chia seed jam or use your favorite sugar-free jam or jelly.
