How to Make Soft & Chewy Peanut Butter Greek Yogurt Oatmeal Cookie Bars

PIN IT

1. Preheat & prep: Heat oven to 350 °F (175 °C). Line an 8×8″ pan with parchment, overhanging on two sides.
2. Mix wet ingredients: In a bowl, combine peanut butter, Greek yogurt, honey (or maple), and vanilla until creamy and smooth.
3. Add dry: Stir in oat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, and salt until dough-like forms. Fold in chocolate chips or raisins.
4. Spread in pan: Press mixture evenly into pan—use back of a spoon for smooth top.
5. Bake: 15–18 minutes until edges just set and top is lightly golden.
6. Cool before slicing: Let cool completely in pan (at least 30 minutes) to get perfectly clean bars.
7. Cut & enjoy: Use parchment overhang to lift bars, cut into 9–12 squares, and share (or stash)!

What to Serve with Soft & Chewy Peanut Butter Greek Yogurt Oatmeal Cookie Bars

Tips for Making It Perfect

• Don’t overbake! Bars should be golden, not dry—just until edges set.

Freezing: Wrap bars individually or in slices in plastic and freeze up to 3 months. Thaw at room temp or microwave for 15 seconds to enjoy.
