Ingredients
- for the graham crackers: 1 cup almond flour 1/2 cup gluten-free oat flour 1/4 cup ground flaxseed 1/2 tsp cinnamon 1/4 tsp baking soda 1/4 tsp sea salt 2 tbsp mashed ripe banana or applesauce 1/4 cup maple syrup 3 tbsp runny almond butter 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ice cream 3 ripe bananas 1 cup unsweetened coconut yogurt 2 scoops vegan vanilla protein powder 1 1/4 cups unsweetened dairy-free milk 1 tsp vanilla extract pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- preheat oven to 325°f and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. in a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, oat flour, flaxseed, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
- in another bowl, mix melted almond butter, maple syrup, mashed banana, and vanilla. stir wet into dry until a soft dough forms. let it sit 5 minutes to thicken.
- roll the dough between two sheets of parchment to about 1/8u0022 thick. the dough will be sticky, so you can slightly oil your finger tips to handle easily.
- cut into squares or rectangles, and poke each cracker a few times with a fork. top with coconut sugar if you want. bake for 16–18 minutes or until golden and slightly firm. cool completely on the pan—they’ll crisp up as they cool.
- for the ice cream, blend all ingredients until very smooth. pour into 2 ninja creami pints, filling to the max line.
- freeze upright for 24 hours. spin using the “ice cream” setting. if crumbly, add 1–2 tbsp extra dairy-free milk and respin until creamy.
- once the graham crackers are cool and the ice cream is creamy, scoop or spread a layer of banana ice cream onto one cracker. top with a second cracker and gently press to form a sandwich.
- place finished sandwiches on a tray and freeze 10–15 minutes to firm them up for clean bites. optional: top with melted chocolate and enjoy!
