Ingredients
  

2 ripe bananas

1 cup rolled oats

1/4 cup almond butter (or peanut butter)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)

1/4 cup chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts or almonds, optional)

Flaked coconut (for rolling, optional)

Instructions
 

Mash the Bananas: In a medium bowl, mash the ripe bananas using a fork until smooth. You should have about 1 cup of mashed banana.

    Combine Ingredients: Add the rolled oats, almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt to the bowl. Stir until all ingredients are thoroughly combined. If using, fold in the dark chocolate chips and chopped nuts.

      Form Cookies: Using a tablespoon, scoop the mixture and shape it into small cookies. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart, as they will spread slightly.

        Freeze: Once all the cookies are shaped, pop the baking sheet into the freezer for about 30 minutes, or until the cookies are firm.

          Assemble Sandwich Coins: Once frozen, take two coins and sandwich a tablespoon of your favorite spread (additional almond butter, chocolate spread, or a layer of fresh fruit preserves) between them. Gently press together.

            Coat (Optional): If desired, roll each sandwich coin in flaked coconut for an extra texture boost.

              Final Freeze: Place the assembled sandwich coins back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze them for an additional 1-2 hours until they are completely set.

                Serve and Enjoy: Once fully frozen, these Banana Oatmeal Sandwich Coins can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer. Pop one out whenever you need a refreshing and healthy snack!
