How To Make It Diabetes-Friendly
To make a diabetes-friendly version of the Fluffernutter sandwich, you can try these easy swaps:
Use whole wheat bread instead of white bread. This adds fiber and helps slow down sugar absorption.
Pick a natural peanut butter with no added sugar. Check the label to make sure it’s just peanuts and maybe a little salt.
Replace marshmallow fluff with a low-sugar alternative. Try a thin layer of sugar-free jam or mashed banana.
Control portion size by using just 1 tablespoon of peanut butter per sandwich.
Add sliced strawberries or banana for natural sweetness and extra nutrients.
Here’s a quick recipe:
- 2 slices whole wheat bread
- 1 tablespoon natural peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon sugar-free strawberry jam
- 2-3 thin slices of banana
Spread peanut butter on one slice of bread and jam on the other. Add banana slices and put the sandwich together. This version has less sugar and more fiber, making it a better choice for blood sugar control.
Remember to check with your doctor or dietitian about how sandwiches fit into your meal plan.
Tips, Tricks & Storing
Here are some helpful tips for making the best Fluffernutter sandwich:
- Use fresh, soft bread for the best texture.
- Toast the bread lightly before spreading the fillings for extra crunch.
- Try different types of peanut butter like crunchy or honey-roasted for variety.
- Add sliced bananas or a drizzle of honey for extra sweetness.
To store your Fluffernutter sandwich:
- Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or place in an airtight container.
