Frosting-Free Cupcake Sandwiches: PB & J Banana Muffin Sliders


  • Author: Harper Callahan

Description

Ready for a snack that makes your inner child—and your grown-up schedule—smile? These PB & J Banana Muffin Sliders are the ultimate lunchbox glow-up: no frosting, no fuss, just dreamy banana muffins stacked with creamy peanut butter and sparkling jam. Think soft, sweet, savory, and handheld joy all in one 5-minute bite!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 mini banana muffins (store-bought or homemade)

  • 3 tbsp creamy peanut butter (or nut-free alternative)

  • 3 tbsp jam (strawberry, grape, blueberry—go wild!)


Instructions

  1. Slice It Right: Using a serrated knife, cut muffins horizontally. Tip: Freeze for 10 mins for cleaner cuts.

  2. Spread Like a Pro: Slather ½ tbsp peanut butter on the bottom half, ½ tbsp jam on the top half. Leave a small edge—jam spreads!

  3. Assemble Gently: Press halves together lightly (no squishing!). Optional: add a parchment square between layers if packing for later.

  4. Serve or Store: Pop into cupcake liners for neat lunchbox travel or serve on a platter for snack attacks!

Notes

  • Elvis Remix: Add a swipe of honey + a crumble of bacon.

  • Tropical: Pineapple jam + coconut flakes.

  • Berry Cheesecake: Cream cheese mixed with jam.

  • Nut-Free: Use SunButter + orange marmalade.

  • Party-Style: Make mini versions with sliced full-size muffins.
