A simple, healthy, and nut-free sandwich recipe perfect for school snacks, featuring creamy sunflower seed butter, honey, and whole grain bread with optional banana and chia seeds.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (125 g) sunflower seed butter, smooth or crunchy
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons (1530 ml) honey
  • 4 slices whole grain bread
  • 1 ripe banana, sliced thinly (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Slice the banana thinly and set aside. Measure out the sunflower seed butter and honey.
  2. In a small bowl, combine sunflower seed butter, honey, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir until smooth and well combined (optional).
  3. Using a butter knife, spread the sunflower seed butter mixture evenly over two slices of whole grain bread, about 2 tablespoons (30 g) per slice.
  4. Arrange the banana slices evenly over the sunflower seed butter spread. Sprinkle chia seeds on top if using.
  5. Place the remaining two slices of bread on top, pressing gently to hold everything together.
  6. Cut each sandwich into halves or quarters, depending on preference. Serve immediately or wrap for school snacks.

Notes

Warm sunflower seed butter slightly if thick for easier spreading. Use slightly firm bananas to avoid sogginess. Assemble sandwiches the morning of for best freshness or keep banana slices separate if prepping ahead. Double-wrap sandwiches for transport to avoid mess.
