Lunch Idea: Peanut Butter and Jelly Crepes

Posted Jan 25 2012 11:16am
Good morning! I’ve got a fun and different lunch idea for you!  Whether you are out of bread and can’t make a sandwich, or your kids are tired of the same old PB&J, these crepes just might be your answer!

With a typical recipe for crepes, some peanut butter, jelly, and cream cheese, we made some easy to eat, roll-up sandwiches, that do well packed in a lunch bag, or eaten right away.

crepes The great thing about crepes is you can make them ahead of time, store them in the fridge, and eat when you want. They don’t have to be warm like pancakes, and they definitely don’t need syrup.

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cinnamon, milk, butter and eggs; mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.

  3. Repeat with remaining batter, spray skillet as needed. When cool, stack crepes with waxed paper on paper towels in between.

Health benefits:  Of course, as long as there are no allergies, natural peanut butter is a great food to include in your kids diets.  Natural peanut butter contains:

  • Dense calories for sustained energy
  • Healthy fats for good brain development
  • and muscle building proteins
