Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain, non-fat)
- 1/2 cup peanut butter powder (PB Fit)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, peanut butter powder, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir vigorously until the mixture is smooth and well blended, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Add Oats: Gradually stir in the rolled oats, mixing until the oats are completely incorporated into the yogurt mixture, creating a thick batter.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: If using, gently fold in the mini chocolate chips to evenly distribute them throughout the mixture without over-mixing.
- Press Into Dish: Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, then transfer the mixture into the dish. Use a spatula or your hands to press the mixture down firmly and spread it evenly across the surface to create a uniform layer.
- Refrigerate: Place the dish in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours, allowing the bars to firm up and set completely for easy slicing.
- Cut and Store: Once set, remove from the refrigerator and cut into 12 equal bars. Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
Notes
- For a vegan option, substitute honey with maple syrup and use plant-based yogurt.
- Peanut butter powder reduces fat content compared to regular peanut butter.
- Mini chocolate chips are optional but add a nice touch of sweetness.
- These bars should be kept refrigerated and consumed within 5 days for best taste and texture.
- You can substitute rolled oats with gluten-free oats to make the recipe gluten-free.
- Press the mixture firmly to ensure bars hold together well after chilling.
