Shape the mixture into evenly sized burger patties and cook them on a lightly oiled pan for about 4–5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Meanwhile, lightly toast your burger buns for added texture. Once ready, spread a generous layer of peanut butter on one side of the bun and jelly on the other.
