Cinnamon Streusel Ice Cream Bars
Ingredients
For the base:
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup flax meal
- 12 pitted medjool dates
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 cup brown rice crisp cereal
- 2-3 tablespoons non-dairy milk
For the ice cream layer:
- 2 bananas (frozen or not)
- 1 /2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoons cashew butter or almond butter (optional but highly recommended)
- 2/3 cup non-dairy milk
- 4 pitted Medjool dates
For the streusel:
- 2/3 cup oat flour
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Directions
1. To make the base: Combine everything in a blender or food processor.
Process until you have a cohesive sticky dough.
2. Press into a 8×8″ pan lined with plastic wrap. Set aside.
3. To make the filling: Combine everything in a blender. Blend until smooth. Pour on top of the base. Freeze for 1 hour.
4. To make the streusel: Combine all the ingredients in a mixing bowl. Mix with a fork until you have crumbly pebble-sized pieces. Adjust the amount of flour or maple syrup, if needed.
5. After the bars have been in the freezer for 1 hour, take them out and sprinkle on the streusel. Letting the bars freeze for an hour first prevents the streusel from getting soggy. Freeze for an additional 4 hours.
6. Remove from the freezer 10 minutes before slicing and eating. Keep in the freezer.
7. Enjoy!
