Recipe for a vegan PBJ Coconut Bacon Sandwich. The homemade strawberry jam and coconut bacon brings this PBJ sandwich to the next level!

Not too long ago, I discovered the magical combination of peanut butter and jelly – well, in my case, I like to use homemade strawberry chia jam. And it’s definitely a match made in heaven.

As someone who didn’t grow up in the US, it was never on my mind to combine these two ingredients – I didn’t even know what I’ve been missing out on. Fact is, only in recent years stores started stocking up on peanut butter here and I think this has to do with the ‘new’ demand for peanut butter because it’s used in lots of recipes and thanks to the internet we are more aware of the possible peanut butter recipes. So, yes, thank you internet, for giving us peanut butter.

Lately I’ve been playing with different PBJ recipes and this one is probably one of the weirdest – but it’s so good!

Peanut butter out of 100% roasted peanuts + homemade quick Strawberry Chia Jam + Coconut Bacon between two toasted bread slices. This is what dreams are made of. Well, at least my crazy dreams!
