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 the blondies from sticking.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a mixing 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 evenly incorporated without overmixing.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Add most of the dark chocolate chips to the batter, reserving a small handful to sprinkle on top for a visually appealing finish.
- Spread Batter: Transfer the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly using a spatula. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips evenly over the top.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the blondies turn golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares to ensure they hold their shape. Serve and enjoy as a wholesome breakfast or a healthy snack.
Notes
- You can substitute oat flour with rolled oats for a heartier texture; just pulse oats briefly in a blender if you want a finer consistency.
- Maple syrup and honey can be used interchangeably depending on your preference or dietary needs.
- For a vegan option, replace the egg with a flax egg (1 tbsp ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tbsp water, let sit for 5 minutes).
- Store blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
- Dark chocolate chips add antioxidants, but feel free to omit or substitute with nuts or dried fruit for variety.
