Notes
Nutrition facts calculated using unsalted peanut butter. This recipe contains 8g added sugar from honey.
Optional: Make it a PB&J flavor by adding the crushed freeze dried strawberries on top. I just grab a handful and crush them up in my hand and then add them on top. One of my kids likes it this way, the other likes it plain, so I usually do a batch half and half!
