Chocolate Black Bean (Banana and Avocado) Ice Cream Sandwiches Print 18 LikeDislike By Sarah These little sandwiches stemmed from a revelation I had at midnight last night. The kids had friends over and I had bought ice cream sandwiches as a special treat. Now, the sandwiches were good and all, which is important, yet, I am not a fan of all the sugar, as my kiddos don’t always have the best behavior following a hefty dose. So, I was trying to think of a healthier alternative that I wouldn’t mind handing out as a sweet treat for my kiddos, as well as any company (big or small) visiting as well. We just made some Banana and Avocado Ice “Cream” with some leftover bananas, and I thought that maybe, just maybe, this would work as a filling. For the cookie, I wanted a fluffier cookie, and I immediately thought of the Double Chocolate Black Bean Cookie. Worked like a charm. We use mini chocolate chips in many recipes, and this was no different. It just added to the yumminess. My husband, while he would prefer a non-banana flavor, still thought they were pretty tasty, but has requested another flavor for the filling (I’m on that…) My one comment is, you do have to work fast when you make these on a hot day. I was racing against melting deliciousness while trying to keep these little guys together!

This recipe might not work out for some of you IBS heroes out there, so be sure to check the ingredient list first, as with any recipe, and see if there are any trigger foods in there for you!
