How to Make Healthy Greek Yogurt Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Donut Cake Bites

PIN IT

Step 1 — Preheat oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Lightly grease your mini muffin or donut hole pan.

Step 2 — Mix wet ingredients

In a bowl, whisk together:

• Greek yogurt
• peanut butter
• egg
• honey
• vanilla

Whisk until smooth and creamy. The mixture should be thick and glossy.

Step 3 — Add your dry ingredients

Pour in:

• oat flour
• baking powder

Fold gently until combined.

The batter will be thick — like cake batter but slightly denser.

Step 4 — Fold in chocolate chips

Add your chocolate chips and fold them in lovingly.
Save a few for topping!

Step 5 — Fill your pan

Scoop batter into mini muffin or donut molds, filling ¾ full.

Top with extra chocolate chips to make them gorgeous.

Step 6 — Bake

Bake 10–12 minutes, or until:

• tops are softly golden
• edges spring back
• a toothpick comes out clean OR with a tiny crumb

Step 7 — Cool & enjoy

Let them cool 5 minutes before removing — they firm up beautifully.

And then?
Try not to eat five in a row.
(It’s impossible. I’ve tried.)

General Information

These mini cake bites were inspired by traditional donut holes — but lighter, baked, and made with wholesome ingredients instead of deep-frying.

The Greek yogurt gives moisture and protein, the peanut butter adds richness, and the oat flour gives them a hearty-yet-soft texture. They’re basically everything you want in a bakery-style treat, but made healthier and easier at home.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I use almond flour?

Not recommended — texture becomes too crumbly.

2. Can I use regular flour?

Yes! Replace oat flour with 1¼ cups all-purpose flour.

3. Can I make them gluten-free?

They already are, if using certified GF oats.

4. Can I replace peanut butter?

Yes — almond butter or cashew butter will work.

5. Can I make them sweeter?

Add 1–2 tbsp honey or maple syrup.

6. Can I add protein powder?

Yes — replace ¼ cup oat flour with ¼ cup whey protein.

Conclusion

And there you have it — warm, fluffy, chocolatey little donut cake bites that feel like a hug in dessert form. They’re wholesome enough for breakfast yet indulgent enough for dessert.
