Overview of Recipe Content

What This Recipe Is

How to Make Healthy Greek Yogurt Peanut Butter Apple Cinnamon Bread Blondies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together peanut butter, Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Add dry ingredients: Stir in oat flour, baking powder, and cinnamon. Mix until just combined.
  4. Fold in apple: Gently stir in diced apple pieces.
  5. Bake: Spread the batter evenly in your prepared pan. Bake for 22–25 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Cool & slice: Let it cool before cutting into blondie squares.

What to Serve with Healthy Blondies

  • A glass of cold milk or almond milk.
  • A drizzle of warm peanut butter on top.
  • A scoop of Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream (for dessert mode).

Tips for Making It Perfect

  • Don’t overmix—this keeps blondies tender.
  • Use a firm apple (like Honeycrisp or Fuji) so it doesn’t get mushy.
  • Let them cool fully before cutting for clean slices.

Storage Instructions

  • Room temp: Store in an airtight container up to 2 days.
  • Fridge: Keeps for up to 5 days.
  • Freezer: Freeze blondie squares individually for up to 2 months.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make these vegan?
Yes! Swap the egg for a flax egg and use dairy-free yogurt.
