[Sincerely-Food-Chef]

Ingredients

• 1 banana
• 320 ml granola
• 12 fl oz vanilla ice cream
• all-purpose flour
• baking powder
• baking soda
• brown sugar
• cornstarch
• salt
• vanilla extract
• virgin coconut oil

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside.
2. Peel banana, break into chunks, and place in a medium bowl.
   • 1 banana
3. Add sugar, oil, and vanilla to the bowl with the banana. Crush with a fork or potato masher until smooth.
   • ⅓ cup brown sugar
   • 2 tbsp virgin coconut oil
   • 1 tsp vanilla extract
4. Add granola to the bowl, breaking apart any extra-large pieces with your hands, and stir to combine; set aside.
   • 1 ⅓ cup granola
5. Place flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl; stir to combine.
   • ½ cup all-purpose flour
   • ½ tsp cornstarch
   • ¼ tsp baking powder
   • ¼ tsp baking soda
   • ⅛ tsp salt
6. Add flour mixture to the bowl with the banana and stir to combine the cookie batter.
7. Using a scant ¼-cup measure, divide batter into 8 portions and place on the baking sheet. Using a silicone spatula or the back of a spoon, spread each cookie into a 2-inch circle.
8. Place baking sheet in the oven and bake until cookies are golden and slightly firm around the edges, 12-15 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool to room temperature.
9. Once cool, arrange half of the cookies on a flat surface, bottom-side facing up. Place a scoop of ice cream on top of each, then cover with remaining cookies. Gently press cookies into the ice cream to secure the sandwiches.
