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
 

Make the Yogurt Filling:

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

      - Taste the yogurt and adjust sweetness if necessary by adding more maple syrup. Set aside.

        Prepare the Pecan Crust:

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

            - In a food processor, combine the pecan halves, rolled oats, and almond flour. Pulse until the mixture resembles a coarse meal.

              - In a separate bowl, mix the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and sea salt. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until fully combined.

                Bake the Pecan Crust:

                  - Line a baking sheet (approximately 9x13 inches) with parchment paper. Press the pecan mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking sheet to form a crust.

                    - Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and allow to cool completely.

                      Assemble the Sandwich Slices:

                        - Once the crust has cooled, spread the yogurt filling evenly over the cooled pecan crust.

                          - If desired, sprinkle extra chopped pecans and other toppings like chocolate chips or shredded coconut on top of the yogurt.

                            - Freeze for at least 3 hours, or until the yogurt is solid.

                              Slice and Serve:

                                - When ready to serve, remove the frozen mixture from the baking sheet and cut it into bars or squares, as preferred.

                                  - Let the sandwich slices sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly before serving for the best texture.

                                    Enjoy!
