Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup natural peanut butter (or almond butter)
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plain, non-fat or low-fat)
- 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup milk (any kind, or non-dairy alternative)
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
Optional Topping
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, thoroughly mix the natural peanut butter, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, stir together the rolled oats, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening and salt.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix until fully incorporated. If the batter feels too thick or dry, add milk a tablespoon at a time until you reach a spreadable consistency.
- Prepare for Baking: Transfer the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly to all corners.
- Add Topping (Optional): If desired, sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over the top to add a touch of sweetness and texture.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating it is fully cooked.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan before cutting them into squares. Enjoy as a healthy, protein-packed breakfast or snack.
Notes
- You can substitute almond butter for peanut butter if preferred.
- For a vegan version, replace eggs with flax eggs and use a non-dairy yogurt and milk alternative.
- If you want extra sweetness, drizzle a little more honey or maple syrup on top after baking.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- These blondies can be frozen for up to 2 months; thaw before serving.
