A quick and easy breakfast bowl combining creamy Greek yogurt, ripe banana slices, and homemade banana cookies for a wholesome and indulgent start to your day. Perfect for Valentines or any cozy morning.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) Greek yogurt, plain or vanilla-flavored
  • 1 medium ripe banana, sliced thinly
  • 1 cup (120 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon (4 g) baking powder
  • 1/4 cup (50 g) brown sugar
  • 4 tablespoons (57 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt (about 1/8 teaspoon)
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) honey or maple syrup, optional for drizzling
  • Optional toppings: chopped nuts (walnuts or almonds), chia seeds, cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar using an electric mixer or whisk until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Mix in the vanilla extract and mashed banana until fully combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined; avoid overmixing.
  5. Drop tablespoon-sized scoops of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart. Flatten each slightly with the back of a spoon.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes until edges are golden and centers are set but soft. A sweet banana aroma will signal readiness.
  7. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. To assemble, spoon 1 cup of Greek yogurt into a bowl. Arrange sliced banana over the top, then crumble or place 3-4 banana cookies on or beside the yogurt.
  9. Drizzle with honey or maple syrup if desired, and sprinkle optional toppings like nuts, chia seeds, or cinnamon.
  10. Serve immediately for the best texture contrast between creamy yogurt and crisp cookies.

Notes

Use ripe bananas for sweeter cookies. Avoid overmixing cookie dough to prevent toughness. Cookies can be baked ahead and stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days. For extra crispiness, reheat cookies in a 300°F oven for 5 minutes before serving. Use thick Greek yogurt or drain watery yogurt for best texture. Optional toppings add flavor and texture variety.
