What could be better on a Tuesday than a cookie for breakfast?
And a cookie with chocolate chips too. Really, I do not think you should do cookies without chocolate unless they happen to be cute little Christmas sugar cookies, for which I’ll make an exception. Christmas freak? Yes, that would be me.
I made these cups with the idea of back-to-school in mind.
Actually, I have made a lot of things recently with back-to-school in mind. I guess I kind of like having a “special occasion” to plan recipes around. Not that school starting is a special occasion, but you get the idea.
I wanted them to be on the healthier side, but still sweet and delicious. I wanted milk involved because I will always be a milk and cookies girl. It’s what my mom tought me and I know I say this all the time, but she tought me well.
Here is the thing, well I sort of wanted these to be an on the go breakfast, the whole milk in an oatmeal cookie cup didn’t work quite like I planned. Yes, these do leak a little. Not TOO bad though if you use a thick whole milk or my favorite canned coconut milk. Really we all know the thick stuff is better anyway, so just use that. You could also use yogurt, but I personally did not love the tangy yogurt mixed with my cookie. Again though, I am a milk and cookies girl. If yogurt is more your thing, go for it.
Now if you are doing these as a dessert and not for breakfast??? Oh my gosh, you have to do two things: One, eat these while still warm. You should really do this no matter what though, because nothing beats a warm oatmeal chocolate chip cookie. Two, vanilla ice cream, vanilla bourbon ice cream, or just any ice cream. Scoop a few scoops into a warm bowl and holy freaking yum. That is a good dessert – and not too bad for you either.
Surprisingly, these are gluten-free and vegan. I have not a clue how that happened, but after two failed batches I ended up with these, and they are just about perfect. The upper edge gets a little crispy, but the bottom and sides stay nice and soft. It’s the best combo.
They are even a breeze to make. No mixer required, just two bowls and not even forty-five minutes of you time. Plus, the pay off is huge. Everyone loves these – and loves the idea of a cookie bowl for breakfast. Who wouldn’t?
Oh, and these breakfast cups are also perfect on the go. If you have milk or yogurt great, if not they’re still delicious all by themselves.

Now that’s a good breakfast bowl!
Very cool idea 🙂

Your animated GIF is just wonderful! And I love how you’ve made it acceptable to have cookies for breakfast!!
thank you so much! 🙂
These sound delicious! Do you think you could replace the banana with anything (unfortunately I am not a fan!)?
thank amanda! I would used applesauce or pumpkin puree, both would work great!
These are beautiful and creative and certainly delicious. I love the thought of pouring my milk over one of these breakfast cups!

What a great idea, T. I’m in love with these. Even though there is no “back to school” for me, I’m totally making these!
Thanks Liz!
Love this idea. First of all, they’re COOKIES for BREAKFAST. I can always get on board with that, but they’re actually quite healthy. And portable. I travel a ton for work – filling these with Greek yogurt and taking them on-the-go would be great. Thanks for the recipe!
Thank you! Hope they end up working out great for you!
oh my goodness – I am all over this!!
Thank you!
