    Sharing is caring!

    Peanut butter and honey uncrustables are fun to make. Homemade uncrustables are healthier, cheaper, and use less plastic than store-bought. Plus, the kids love eating them!

    We love our uncrustable maker

    Here we go again! If you read my most recent post, you'll know that we love our uncrustable maker.

    I last shared our Almond Butter with Chocolate Uncrustable. The trick to making that recipe is to use this delicious spread.

    Today, I share another homemade uncrustable favorite. Here's our easy recipe to make peanut butter and honey uncrustables.

    Why make homemade peanut butter and honey uncrustables

    We like to make our own uncrustables for many reasons.

    • First, it reduces plastic packaging and waste.
    • Second, I use healthier ingredients.
    • Third, it saves a lot of money.
    • Fourth, it gives my little kids an opportunity to be independent and make their own meal.

    Because of all of these reasons, we have used our uncrustable maker lots of times!

    How does this recipe differ from store-bought version?

    To be honest, there's not much to a peanut butter and honey uncrustable. It's just 3 ingredients - peanut butter, honey and bread.

    However, making your own peanut butter and honey uncrustable allows you to pick the ingredients you use.

    For example, take a look at the ingredients of the store bought uncrustables. You'll see added sugar in the peanut butter. Additionally, sugar is the first ingredient of the "honey spread".

    By making this recipe at home, we can use a peanut butter that does not contain added sugar. In addition, we use real honey with no processed sugar.

    So in short, there are no major differences between a homemade version and a store-bought version. Though these are simple swaps help us eat just a little bit healthier!

    Tips for making peanut butter and honey uncrustables

    Since I shared quite a few tips already, feel free to jump over to my chocolate uncrustable post. I'll leave all the details there.

    But here's the quick rundown:

    • Use a good uncrustable maker.
    • Use a soft bread.
    • Keep the filling in the middle of the bread.
    • Don't go overboard with too much filling.

    Finding an uncrustable maker

    There are a lot of different uncrustable makers on Amazon. It took me a while to find one I love.

    This is the one I use. And I think it works great!

    The one I have makes the classic Smucker's Uncrustables edge shape. Some of the other sandwich sealers end up giving the sandwich a wavy edge.

    What to do with leftover bread crust?

    Several people have asked what we do with the bread crust when we make homemade uncrustables. What a great question!

    The quick answer is: we don't waste them!

    Here are a few ways for how we use the bread crusts.

    Make croutons

    Most often, I take the bread crusts and make them into simple croutons. The kids love these croutons as a snack or with dinner.

    Here's what I do. It's super easy.

    I pan fry the crusts in olive oil, and sprinkle on some spices. The kids love when I use some sort of combination of the following:

    • salt
    • black pepper
    • parmesan
    • freeze-dried parsley
    • garlic powder
    • everything but the bagel seasoning
    • mushroom salt

    Instead of olive oil, butter also works great.

    If you cut the crusts into long strips, these croutons work great for dipping into hummus.

    Bread crumbs

    It's also easy to make some bread crumbs. Then, I use the bread crumbs at dinner.

    To make bread crumbs, pop the crust into the toaster oven for a bit on low heat. Next, pulse the crusts in a food processor or blender. Or for just a bit of bread crumbs, crush with a fork.

    Eat them

    Simple. If I'm just making one sandwich, I just eat the bread crusts as my breakfast.

    Sometimes I feel 2 whole slices of bread is too much for a little kid anyway. So this gives them a good size portion of bread.

    Whatever we do, we don't waste the crust.

    Lastly, if you have any other idea for fillings, I'd love to hear! Feel free to share your favorite fillings below.

      I will have to try this! I’ve always wanted to try the ones in the atore hoping they’d come out with a peanut free version (we have a severe peanut allergy at home) Now I can try it with Sunflower butter instead! Thank you :)
