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

PIN IT

Step 1 – Preheat & Prep

Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your muffin tin with parchment liners or lightly grease with nonstick spray.

Step 2 – Mix Wet Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, Greek yogurt, honey, and egg until smooth and creamy. Take a moment to enjoy that peanut butter aroma — it’s heaven!

Step 3 – Add Dry Ingredients

Stir in the oat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Mix just until no dry streaks remain — don’t overmix, or your muffins may lose their fluff.

Step 4 – Fill Muffin Cups

Spoon the batter evenly into your muffin tin — it should make about 12 muffins.

💡 Pro Tip: For extra gooey centers, press a tiny dollop of peanut butter or a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar into the middle before baking.

Step 5 – Bake

Bake for 14–16 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean at the edges but slightly moist in the center.

Step 6 – Cool & Enjoy

Let them rest 5 minutes before removing. They’ll firm up slightly as they cool but stay irresistibly soft in the middle.

What to Serve with These Muffins

• A chilled glass of almond milk or an oat-milk latte ☕
• Fresh fruit or a dollop of Greek yogurt on top
• A drizzle of warm peanut butter for breakfast decadence

You could even pair them with one of my other protein-packed favorites:

• Protein Cookie Dough

Tips for Making It Perfect

• Use room-temperature ingredients. Cold yogurt or eggs can make the batter seize.
• Don’t overbake! These muffins are meant to stay a little gooey.
• Store in the fridge for the best texture — they taste like peanut butter fudge after chilling overnight.
• Add protein powder (1–2 tbsp vanilla) for an even higher protein boost.

Storage Instructions

• Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
• Freezer: Freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge or reheat in the microwave for 20–25 seconds.
• Meal-prep tip: Wrap muffins individually in parchment for easy grab-and-go snacks.

General Information

This recipe celebrates the comfort of cinnamon rolls but reinvents it with wholesome ingredients. Inspired by classic blondies and Midwest peanut butter traditions, it’s one of those “how is this healthy?” kind of bakes.

Great year-round, but especially perfect in fall or winter when you crave warm, cinnamon-sweet coziness without derailing your nutrition goals.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I make these gluten-free?
Yes! Just be sure to use certified gluten-free oat flour.

2. Can I skip the egg?
Yes — replace it with a flax egg (1 tbsp ground flax + 3 tbsp warm water).

3. Can I use flavored Greek yogurt?
You can, but it will change the sweetness. Stick with plain if you want full control of flavor.

4. How do I make them extra gooey?
Slightly underbake them and let them cool in the tin — the centers will stay molten!

5. Can I make them vegan?
Absolutely — use dairy-free yogurt and maple syrup instead of honey.

These Healthy Peanut Butter Greek Yogurt Cinnamon Roll Blondie Muffins are proof that indulgence and nutrition can totally coexist.
Soft, warm, and satisfying — they make weekday mornings feel a little more special.
