Choc-orange Banana Ice-cream Cookie Sandwiches - 3 Ways!


These yummy little treats are perfect for any time of the day! Breakfast. brunch, dessert - I find I'm always in the mood for them! The recipe is super simple too, so they're perfect for when you need to whip up something delicious with limited time! Hope you love them as much as we did :)

COOKIES
  • 3/4 cup oat flour (just blend up rolled oats in the blender!)
  • 1 tbsp coconut flour
  • 1 ripe banana
  • 1 - 2 tbsp cacao powder (depending on how chocolate-y you want it)

ORANGE-BANANA ICE-CREAM
  • 1 frozen banana (cut into coins beforehand)
  • 1 tsp orange rind
  • pistachios, cacao nibs or anything else you'd like to roll your ice-cream sandwiches in!

Method:

- Mash the banana in a bowl, then add the rest of the cookie ingredients. 
- Use a rolling pin to roll between two baking sheets, and use a cookie cutter to cut into round circles.
- Cook in the oven for around 10-15 minutes (or until slightly browned) on 160C.
- Allow to cool completely.
- For the ice-cream, blend up the banana and the orange rind in a food processor until nice and smooth.
- Place a dollop of ice-cream on one cookie, then squish the other on top!
- Roll them in pistachios, cacao nibs, or anything else - be creative!


You could also freeze these immediately after making them so that the ice-cream hardens up a little more!

Enjoy :) xx

  1. This is so perfect! I can't wait to try it. Question: how many of these little ice cream sandwiches does it make? What size?

    1. Yay, so glad you like them! I made about 7 sandwiches! They're quite small though, maybe 5cm diameter? But really depends on how big your cookie cutter is! If you want to make more it's easy enough to just double the recipe :) xx
