Ingredients
Scale
Main 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 1/2 cups rolled oats
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional, for topping)
- 1/4 cup milk (any kind, or use a non-dairy alternative)
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 and ensure easy removal of the blondies.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix together the rolled oats, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agent and seasoning.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix thoroughly until fully incorporated. If the batter feels too thick, gradually add the milk a little at a time to reach a spreadable consistency.
- Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly using a spatula or the back of a spoon.
- Add Chocolate Chips (Optional): Sprinkle chocolate chips evenly on top of the batter if you desire a touch of sweetness and texture.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 18 to 22 minutes. To check doneness, insert a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the blondies to cool completely in the dish before cutting into squares. Serve as a healthy protein-packed breakfast or snack.
