Print Recipe

These nut-free, freezer-friendly uncrustables are perfect for busy mornings and school lunches. Made with sunflower butter and your favorite jam, they’re ready in minutes and endlessly customizable.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 slices soft bread (white, whole wheat, or brioche)
  • 1/2 cup creamy sunflower butter (e.g., SunButter)
  • 1/4 cup jelly or jam (strawberry, grape, raspberry, etc.)
  • Pinch of salt (optional, if sunflower butter is unsalted)
  • Cinnamon or vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prep your workstation: Lay out all ingredients and equipment. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Flatten the bread: Using a rolling pin, gently roll each slice of bread to about 1/4 inch thick.
  3. Spread sunflower butter: Spread a thin, even layer (about 1 to 1.5 tablespoons) on one slice of bread, going all the way to the edges.
  4. Add jelly: Spread a thin layer (about 1 to 1.5 teaspoons) of jelly on the other slice of bread, also to the edges.
  5. Assemble the sandwich: Place the two slices together, jelly side facing sunflower butter side. Press down gently.
  6. Seal the uncrustable: Place a sandwich sealer over the center of the sandwich and press down firmly to cut and seal. Alternatively, use a round cookie cutter and crimp edges with a fork.
  7. Remove the crust: Lift the sealer away; save crusts for another use (e.g., breadcrumbs).
  8. Freeze immediately: Place the uncrustable on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining bread and filling.
  9. Freeze solid: Place the baking sheet in the freezer for at least 2-3 hours, until sandwiches are completely frozen.
  10. Transfer to storage: Once frozen, transfer uncrustables to a freezer-safe bag or container. Squeeze out excess air. Store for up to 3 months.

Notes

For best results, use bread that is a day or two old (not too fresh). Flatten bread well to ensure a good seal. Do not overfill. If using gluten-free bread, flatten gently and consider a smaller sealer. Let sunflower butter come to room temperature for easier spreading.
