How to Make No-Bake Peanut Butter Greek Yogurt Brownie Bars
Step 1: Prepare the Pan
Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy lifting later.
Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine:
- Peanut butter
- Greek yogurt
- Honey (or maple syrup)
- Vanilla extract
Stir until smooth and creamy. It should look glossy and thick.
Step 3: Add the Dry Ingredients
Add cocoa powder, rolled oats, and salt.
Mix until fully combined. The mixture will be thick and slightly sticky—like brownie batter meets cookie dough.
Step 4: Fold in Chocolate Chips
Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips.
I always sneak a few extra on top. No regrets.
Step 5: Press into Pan
Transfer the mixture into the prepared pan.
Press it down firmly using the back of a spoon or your hands (lightly dampened to prevent sticking). Make sure it’s compact—this helps them hold together when sliced.
Step 6: Chill
Refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours, or freeze for 30–45 minutes until firm.
Once set, lift from the pan and slice into bars.
That first slice? Pure chocolate peanut butter heaven.
What to Serve with These Brownie Bars
They’re fantastic on their own, but if you want to elevate the moment:
- Serve with fresh berries
- Pair with coffee or espresso
- Add a drizzle of melted dark chocolate
- Serve with a smoothie
For a balanced snack board, pair them with my Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie and Strawberry Chia Pudding for a wholesome spread.
Tips for Making Them Perfect
- Use thick Greek yogurt (full-fat works best)
- Stir peanut butter well if natural
- Press firmly into the pan for clean slices
- Chill completely before cutting
- For firmer bars, add 2 tablespoons extra oats
For ultra-fudgy bars, freeze slightly before serving.
Storage Instructions
Refrigerator
Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
Freezer
Freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw slightly before eating.
They’re delicious straight from the freezer—almost like a frozen brownie bite.
