Ingredients
  

For the Yogurt Filling:

2 cups Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

1/4 cup maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

For the Pecan Crust:

1 cup pecan halves

1 cup rolled oats

1/4 cup almond flour

1/4 cup coconut oil (melted)

2 tablespoons maple syrup

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

For Assembly:

Extra chopped pecans (for sprinkling)

Optional toppings: chocolate chips, shredded coconut, or fresh berries

Instructions
 

Prepare the Yogurt Filling:

    - In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

      - Taste the yogurt filling and adjust the sweetness by adding more maple syrup if desired. Set the filling aside to allow the flavors to meld.

        Make the Pecan Crust:

          - Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

            - In a food processor, add the pecan halves, rolled oats, and almond flour. Pulse the mixture until it resembles a coarse meal with some texture.

              - In a separate bowl, mix the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and sea salt until well combined. Gradually pour this wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until everything is evenly incorporated.

                Bake the Pecan Crust:

                  - Prepare a baking sheet (approximately 9x13 inches) by lining it with parchment paper.

                    - Press the pecan mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking sheet to form a crust.

                      - Place the crust in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until it turns a beautiful golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before adding the yogurt filling.

                        Assemble the Sandwich Slices:

                          - Once the pecan crust has cooled, spread the yogurt filling evenly over the crust with a spatula to create a smooth layer.

                            - For added crunch and flavor, sprinkle extra chopped pecans and any desired optional toppings, such as chocolate chips or shredded coconut, over the yogurt layer.

                              - Cover the baking sheet and transfer it to the freezer. Freeze for a minimum of 3 hours, or until the yogurt filling is completely solid.

                                Slice and Serve:

                                  - When you're ready to enjoy your frozen treats, remove the baking sheet from the freezer. Carefully lift the entire mixture out using the parchment paper and place it on a cutting board.

                                    - Use a sharp knife to slice the frozen mixture into bars or squares according to your preference.

                                      Enjoy!

                                        - For the best texture, let the sandwich slices sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes before serving. These Frozen Yogurt Maple Pecan Sandwich Slices make a deliciously refreshing dessert or snack, perfect for warm weather or whenever your sweet tooth strikes!
