Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/3 cup maple syrup or honey
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup oats or oat flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
Add-ins
- 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking and allow easy removal of the blondies.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, Greek yogurt, maple syrup or honey, egg, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Gently fold in the oats or oat flour, baking soda, and sea salt into the wet mixture until fully incorporated, creating a thick batter.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Carefully fold most of the dark chocolate chips into the batter, reserving some to sprinkle on top for an appealing finish.
- Prepare to Bake: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top for extra chocolatey goodness.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the blondies turn golden brown and are set in the center.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing into squares to ensure they hold together well.
Notes
- You can substitute the oats with oat flour for a smoother texture.
- Use maple syrup or honey as a natural sweetener, adjust quantity to taste.
- Ensure the blondies cool completely before slicing for clean cuts.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
- For a nut-free version, try sunflower seed butter, but note the flavor will change.
