Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1/2 cup natural peanut butter
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup oat flour (or blended oats)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips or chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8×8-inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it to prevent sticking.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the natural peanut butter, plain Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and the large egg. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Add the oat flour, baking soda, and salt to the wet mixture. Mix just until all ingredients are incorporated without overmixing to maintain a tender texture. If using, carefully fold in mini chocolate chips or chopped nuts for extra flavor and texture.
- Transfer Batter: Evenly spread the batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing out the surface for uniform baking.
- Bake: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 18 to 22 minutes. The blondies are done when they turn lightly golden on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Slice: Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan before slicing into 9 squares. Cooling helps them set perfectly.
