If you know me, you know that I love peanut butter…like to the point that I’d go through a 16oz jar in 2 days. It’s become a rarity to have it in my house.
Growing up, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches were a thing. Same with peanut butter and fluff. One of the ladies at the studio had never heard of it/never tried it and thought marshmallow fluff with peanut butter was a gross combination…I’m sorry Deb, but you are absolutely wrong.
Anyways, back to the PB&J. I was heavily craving a sandwich the other day. Luckily for me, I just happened to be walking through Target while having that craving…so of course I picked up some supplies! When I got home, I started thinking about if I wanted to toast the bread or not. Then I had a brilliant idea:
Make French toast!
It was perfect. I’d be getting a well rounded meal between having carbs, fats, and protein in an awesome meal that I’d usually count as a cheat meal!

I made this on a low carb day, which is why I used the Silver Hills bread (2 slices = 19g carbs) and the sugar-free jelly.
Have fun with yours! Use almond butter or hazelnut butter. Raspberry jelly or whatever you like!
