How to Make Healthy Peanut Butter Greek Yogurt Cinnamon Roll Blondie Muffins with Gooey Centers
- 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.
- Add the dry ingredients. Stir in oat flour, baking powder, and cinnamon until just combined. Your batter should be thick but scoopable.
- 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.
- 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!
- 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.

- 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.
