Ingredients
Scale
- 4 slices of bread: Choose your favorite type, whether it’s white, whole wheat, or even sourdough for a gourmet twist.
- 1/2 cup peanut butter: Creamy or chunky, depending on your preference.
- 1/2 cup jelly (any flavor): Strawberry, grape, or raspberry are popular choices.
- 1 cup milk (or non-dairy milk): Use whatever type suits your dietary needs.
- 1 cup flour: All-purpose flour works best.
- 1 tsp sugar: Adds a hint of sweetness to the batter.
