Print Recipe

These fun, star-shaped sunbutter and jelly bites are a quick, nut-free lunchbox solution that kids love. Made with just three ingredients, they come together in under 10 minutes and are perfect for picky eaters.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 slices bread (sturdy whole wheat or soft white)
  • 1/2 cup sunbutter (stirred well)
  • 1/4 cup jelly or jam (seedless recommended)

Instructions

  1. Prepare your workspace: Lay out bread slices on a clean cutting board. If using a rolling pin, gently roll each slice to about 1/2 inch thickness.
  2. Spread the sunbutter: Take one slice of bread and spread a thin, even layer of sunbutter all the way to the edges.
  3. Add the jelly: On a second slice of bread, spread a thin layer of jelly or jam.
  4. Assemble the sandwich: Place the sunbutter slice on top of the jelly slice, sunbutter side down. Press gently but firmly to seal.
  5. Cut out the shapes: Use a cookie cutter to press firmly through the assembled sandwich. Give it a little twist to cut all the way through. Repeat to get as many shapes as possible from each sandwich.
  6. Save the scraps: Toast leftover bread scraps for breadcrumbs or a crunchy snack.
  7. Pack them up: Place finished bites in a lunchbox container. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Notes

Use day-old bread for best results. Spread sunbutter and jelly all the way to the edges to ensure every bite has filling. Dip cookie cutter in flour or powdered sugar if it sticks. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
