PB&J Bagel Panini

1 whole grain bagel (less than 240 calories)
1 tbsp natural skippy peanut butter
1-2 tbsp low sugar strawberry jelly
1-2 tbsp raisins
1 tbsp sliced almonds
dash of cinnamon


Turn on Panini maker to medium heat. Spread PB on 1 side bagel and 1-2 tbsp jelly on other side of bagel (the jelly side will lay down on the bottom of the panini maker and the PB side will be on top. Put a dash of cinnamon on jelly. Sprinkle raisins and almonds on jelly (bottom of the bagel) and close sandwich with PB side of bagel.
Cook on panini for a few minutes.
YUM! I recommend 8 ounces yogurt (I like vanilla) with this sandwich.
I love making PB&J for our road trips..a yummy filling meal ;)
