How to Make Soft & Chewy Peanut Butter Greek Yogurt Muffin Squares

PIN IT

Step 1: Prep the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper.

Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients

In a bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, honey, egg, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.

Step 3: Add the Dry Ingredients

Stir in the oat flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined. The batter will be thick but spreadable.

Step 4: Bake

Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Smooth the top gently.

Bake for 18–22 minutes, until the center is just set and a toothpick comes out mostly clean.

Step 5: Cool & Slice

Let cool completely before slicing into squares. This helps them hold together and keeps the texture perfectly chewy.

What to Serve with Muffin Squares
