crunchy & sweet
healthy oatmeal cookie cups

With the Fourth of July and summer BBQs in full swing, these red, white and blueberry oatmeal cookie cups are the perfect, last-minute friendly, option to bring along to your next gathering!

These little guys make the perfect, fresh summer dessert and are made with simple ingredients that you can feel good about. Rolled oats, fresh banana, pure honey, coconut oil, vanilla essence, ground cinnamon and sea salt make up this one-bowl recipe’s base, but the toppings are where you can really get festive! I chose to highlight the traditional colors of America with greek yogurt, freshly-sliced strawberries and blueberries but these can easily be replaced with your favorite fruit choices! If you’re dairy-free, try substituting the greek yogurt here for coconut whip, a non-dairy yogurt option or vanilla ice cream! This recipe can also be made vegan by swapping the dairy for one of the above mentioned options as well as switching out the honey for pure maple syrup!

Besides being a festive summer treat, these fruit and oatmeal cups make a great healthy breakfast option for weekly meal preps and as an on-the-go snack!
