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 make removal easy.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, Greek yogurt, maple syrup or honey, egg, and vanilla extract until you have a smooth and homogenous mixture.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Gently fold in the oats or oat flour, baking soda, and sea salt into the wet ingredients, making sure they are evenly incorporated without overmixing.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in most of the dark chocolate chips into the batter, reserving some to sprinkle on top for a decorative and melty finish.
- Prepare Batter: Spread the batter evenly into the lined baking dish and sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top to add extra chocolate flavor and texture.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the blondies are golden around the edges and set in the center. A toothpick inserted should come out with moist crumbs.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the blondies to cool completely in the dish before slicing into squares to ensure they hold their shape well and have the perfect texture.
Notes
- You can use either rolled oats or oat flour depending on your texture preference; oat flour will produce a denser blondie.
- Substitute maple syrup with honey for a slightly different natural sweetness.
- For a vegan option, replace the egg with a flax or chia egg and use a plant-based yogurt alternative.
- Store the blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- These blondies can be frozen for up to 2 months; thaw at room temperature before serving.
