Ingredients
  

For the Cookie:

2 ripe bananas, thoroughly mashed

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 cup almond butter (or your preferred nut butter)

1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (optional for a delicious twist)

A pinch of salt

For the Filling:

1 cup Greek yogurt (or any yogurt of your choice)

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust for desired sweetness)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Fresh fruit slices (strawberries, raspberries, or peaches for added flavor, optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Meanwhile, line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

    Make the Cookie Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the thoroughly mashed bananas with the rolled oats, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, baking powder, almond butter, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until all ingredients come together to form a cohesive dough. If you’d like an extra touch of sweetness, fold in the dark chocolate chips.

      Shape the Cookies: Using a tablespoon, scoop the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring you space each scoop about 2 inches apart. Gently flatten each scoop with the back of the spoon to create round cookie shapes.

        Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies turn golden brown. Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.

          Prepare the Filling: In a separate bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If desired, gently fold in fresh fruit slices for a burst of flavor.

            Assemble the Sandwiches: Once the cookies have cooled completely, take one cookie and spread a generous spoonful of the yogurt filling over the flat side. Top with another cookie to create a sandwich. Repeat this process until all cookies are assembled.

              Freeze: Arrange the assembled cookie sandwiches on a tray and place them in the freezer. Let them freeze for at least 1-2 hours until they are firm and ready to enjoy.

                Serve: A few minutes before serving, remove the sandwiches from the freezer for easier handling. Delight in these refreshing frozen treats as a healthy dessert or a cool snack on warm days!
