Perfectly suited for using up every bit of your sandwiches, this dish combines the nostalgic flavors of peanut butter and jelly into a warm, rich pudding that’s sure to please both kids and adults.

Ingredients

🍞 PB&J sandwich trims (or use 6 whole sandwiches)
🥛 1 cup warm whole milk
🍚 1/3 cup sugar
🥚 4 eggs
🍦 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
🌿 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
🥜 1/2 cup peanuts (optional but highly recommended)
🥪 1/4 cup peanut butter (to drizzle)
🍇 1/3 cup jelly (to spread)
🧈 Butter spray or soft butter (to grease the oven-safe dish)

Instructions

1- Preparation:

Preheat your oven to 380°F (190°C). Grease an oven-safe dish with butter or butter spray.

2- Cut and Arrange:

Cut the PB&J sandwich trims into small pieces and evenly distribute them in the greased dish, ensuring there are no empty spaces.

3- Mix Wet Ingredients:

In a mixing bowl, combine warm milk and sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Add the eggs, vanilla extract, and cinnamon, then mix well.

4- Add Peanuts:

If you're including peanuts for added crunch, scatter them over the trimmed bread pieces in the dish.

5- Combine:

Pour the milk and egg mixture over the bread and peanuts in the dish. Press down with a spoon to ensure all the bread pieces soak up the mixture.

6- Bake:

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the pudding achieves a golden brown color.

7- Prepare Peanut Butter:

Place the peanut butter in a small, microwave-safe zip bag. Heat in the microwave for about 30 seconds until melted.

8- Finish:

Spread the jelly evenly across the top of the baked pudding. Cut a small tip off the corner of the zip bag and drizzle the melted peanut butter over the jelly-topped pudding.

9- Serve:

Enjoy your bread pudding warm or cold, as desired.
