Ingredients
- Smooth sunflower butter (about 1 tablespoon per slice)
- Jam or jelly (about 1 teaspoon per slice), preferably strawberry or mixed berry
- Soft white or whole wheat sandwich bread, crusts removed
- Optional: honey for extra sweetness
- Optional: pinch of cinnamon mixed into sunflower butter
- Optional: banana slices
Instructions
- Trim the bread: Cut off the crusts from sandwich bread slices using a sharp knife.
- Spread the sunflower butter evenly over one side of each bread slice using a butter knife.
- Spread jam on half of the slices over the sunflower butter, using about 1 teaspoon per slice.
- Assemble sandwiches by placing jam-topped slices on top of plain sunflower butter slices, pressing gently to seal.
- Cut sandwiches into mini rounds using a 2–3 inch round cookie cutter or small cup, yielding about 3–4 mini sandwiches per whole sandwich.
- Optional: add a thin slice of banana inside or sprinkle cinnamon on sunflower butter before adding jam.
- Serve fresh or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, separating layers with parchment paper.
Notes
Use smooth sunflower butter for easy spreading and to avoid tearing bread. Avoid overly thick or chunky jams to prevent sogginess. Store sandwiches in the fridge up to 24 hours with parchment paper between layers. Prepare sandwiches last to keep fresh. Optional add-ins like banana slices or cinnamon add flavor and nutrition.
