These Nutella and Peanut Butter Sandwiches are simple, versatile and darn right DELICIOUS!
If you’re wondering ‘is peanut butter and Nutella good?’ the answer is abso-freaking-lutely! If you’ve never tried it before your life is about to change for the better. Of course today we’re celebrating it in sandwich form, so grab your eating pants and follow me.
The Ultimate Nutella Sandwich
Originally I intended on making a Nutella sandwich, but one thing led to another and the peanut butter made its way in. As you can imagine this sandwich is ridiculously easy to make, just a few things to address:
Nutella
Feel free to use any chocolate spread you can get your hands on, doesn’t necessarily have to be Nutella!
Peanut Butter
I prefer chunky peanut butter, just for a little extra texture. I also find it holds the sandwich together in comparison to an extra smooth peanut butter, especially because we’re frying it (more on this in just a sec).
Extra Goodies
I love throwing some fresh fruit into this sandwich. Banana goes exceptionally well, but berries (strawberries & blueberries) are quickly becoming one of my new faves. Alongside the fruit, if I’ve got any on hand, I’ll sprinkle in some chia seeds too.
Process shots: slice bread (photo 1), butter one side (photo 2), flip over (photo 3), spread half with Nutella and half with peanut butter (photo 4), top Nutella with fruit & seeds (photo 5), top with bread butter-side-up (photo 6).
Sure, you could eat the sandwiches right away, but frying them as you would a grilled cheese takes things to the next level. That way the Nutella goes ooey & gooey and you get a nice crispy, crunchy, buttery casing to the sandwich.
What Bread to use?
I recommend using a firmer loaf like a Sourdough. The inside of the sandwich is going to be very soft, so you want something sturdy enough to contain the filling.
Process shots: add to a non-stick pan over medium heat (photo 1), fry both sides until golden (photo 2).
Serving a Nutella Peanut Butter Sandwich
I like to serve these with a sprinkling of powdered/icing sugar, but that’s totally optional. I tend to serve these for breakfast/brunch as you would French toast!

Notes
a) Nutella - Doesn't necessarily have to be Nutella, any chocolate spread will work just fine!
b) Peanut Butter - I prefer chunky, just to add a bit more texture. It also holds the sandwich together a bit better, unlike super smooth peanut butter which tends to melt & cause the bread to slide about. Feel free to use your favourite nut butter in replacement!
c) Bread - You want something fairly firm as the filling will be very soft! I tend to use fairly small but quite thick slices. Around 1/2" works nicely.
