How to Make Healthy Peanut Butter Greek Yogurt Cinnamon Roll Blondie Muffins with Gooey Centers

PIN IT

1. Mix the wet ingredients. In a medium bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and egg until smooth and creamy. This base gives you that chewy, rich texture.
2. Add the dry ingredients. Stir in oat flour, baking powder, and cinnamon until just combined. Your batter should be thick but scoopable.
3. Create the gooey centers. Fill each muffin liner halfway with batter, then add a tiny spoonful of extra peanut butter or cinnamon-honey mixture in the middle. Top with the remaining batter.
4. Bake. Pop them into a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15–18 minutes, until golden on top but still slightly soft inside. Don’t overbake—you want that gooey bite!
5. Cool slightly & enjoy. Let them rest in the pan for 5 minutes, then serve warm.

Tip: The smell of cinnamon and peanut butter wafting through your kitchen will make everyone come running!

What to Serve with Healthy Peanut Butter Greek Yogurt Cinnamon Roll Blondie Muffins

• A warm cup of chai latte or cold brew coffee.
• Fresh fruit like apple slices or berries for balance.
• A drizzle of extra peanut butter on top for presentation.

Tips for Making It Perfect

• Don’t skip the gooey center. That’s the magic touch!
• Room temp ingredients mix together more smoothly.
• Line your muffin tin—this batter is a little sticky.
• Storage tip: slightly underbake for maximum gooeyness, since they’ll firm up as they cool.

• Room Temp: Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
• Fridge: Lasts up to 5 days—just reheat in the microwave for 15 seconds.
• Freezer: Wrap individually and freeze for up to 2 months. Warm before eating.
