INGREDIENTS

COOKIES

Dry ingredients

• 1 cup oat flour
• 1/2 tsp bicarb soda
• a pinch of salt

Wet ingredients

• 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
• 1/4 cup rice malt syrup (or maple syrup)
• 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 tbs hot water

SANDWICH FILLING

• 2-3 tbs peanut butter
• 1 banana
• 2-3 tbs jam of choice see notes for a simple homemade chia jam recipe

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 180 degrees C and line a baking tray with baking paper.
• Add the dry COOKIE ingredients into a bowl and mix until combined.
• In a microwave safe bowl/jug, heat the peanut butter and rice-malt syrup for 1 minute at 20 second intervals until melted. (Alternatively, heat in a saucepan over the stove.)
• Add remaining wet ingredients to the peanut butter mixture and stir to combine.
• Combine the wet mixture with the dry ingredients.
• Roll tablespoon-sized portions of the dough into balls (12-14 balls) and place them on the lined baking tray. Gently press down each ball using the back of a fork.
• Bake in the oven for 10 minutes, rotating the tray half way through. (If you choose to make your own chia jam with the recipe in the notes below, do that while you wait for the cookies to bake)

  Allow the baked cookies to cool completely before forming the cookie sandwiches.
• To make the ice-cream sandwiches, slice the banana into rounds about 1.5cm thick.

  Spread a thin layer of jam onto the bottom of a cookie. Add a slice of banana (you may need to cut up some of the banana rounds to place around the edges to create an even layer of banana on each cookie).

  Spread a thin layer of peanut butter on the bottom of another cookie and place ontop of the first cookie (peanut butter face down onto the banana layer). Repeat with your remaining cookies.
• Freeze them for at least 2 hours (or overnight), until the banana layer becomes solid and you are left with a creamy, cold icecream texture from just banana!

Notes

CHIA JAM:

(makes 1/4 cup (4 tbs))

• Mash 70g fresh berries of choice (or defrosted berries from frozen) well with a fork. Alternatively use a blender to blend them until smooth.
• Stir in 1/2 tbs chia seeds and add 1/2 tbs maple syrup to sweeten if necessary.
• Set aside in the fridge until the chia seeds have absorbed the berry juices.
