Ingredients
  

2 ripe bananas, well mashed

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup almond flour (or substitute with oat flour)

1/4 cup maple syrup or honey

1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (optional, for extra indulgence)

1 cup Greek yogurt (for filling and plating)

Fresh berries (for garnish and added flavor)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure easy removal of the cookies.

    Combine the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the well-mashed bananas with the rolled oats, almond flour, maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix thoroughly until all the ingredients are fully incorporated. If you're including dark chocolate chips for added sweetness, gently fold them into the mixture at this point.

      Form the Cookies: Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, portion out rounded tablespoons of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, making sure to leave approximately 2 inches of space between each scoop. Gently flatten each cookie dough mound with the back of the spoon to create a more even shape.

        Bake the Cookies: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven, and bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges turn a golden brown. Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Afterward, carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

          Prepare the Yogurt Filling: While the cookies cool, take the opportunity to prepare your filling. In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with a splash of vanilla extract or a drizzle of honey for sweetness, based on your preference.

            Assemble the Sandwiches: Once the cookies are completely cooled, take one cookie and spread a generous amount of the sweetened Greek yogurt mixture on its flat side. Place another cookie, flat side down, on top to form a sandwich. Repeat this process until all cookie pairs are used up.

              Freeze the Sandwiches: Position the assembled cookie sandwiches on a baking sheet and place them in the freezer. Allow them to freeze for at least 1 hour, or until they are firm to the touch.

                Serve and Enjoy: After freezing, serve the cookie sandwiches immediately for a delightful, refreshing treat. For an extra burst of flavor, garnish with fresh berries atop each sandwich!
