Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup natural peanut butter
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour (or oat flour)
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Optional Mix-ins
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts or seeds
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set 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 medium mixing bowl, whisk together the natural peanut butter, plain Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, large egg, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the whole wheat flour, baking soda, and salt gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix to keep the blondies tender.
- Incorporate Optional Mix-ins: If desired, fold in mini chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate and chopped nuts or seeds evenly through the batter.
- Bake the Blondies: Spread the batter evenly in the prepared baking pan and bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the center has set and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan before slicing into 9 squares to ensure clean cuts and the best texture.
Notes
- Store blondies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- For longer storage, freeze the blondies and thaw before serving.
- They make a convenient grab-and-go breakfast or snack option.
- To make the recipe vegan, use dairy-free yogurt and an egg replacer instead of the egg.
