- ½ cup Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup oat flour

How to Make Healthy Peanut Butter Greek Yogurt Apple Pie Blondies
- Preheat & prep. Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 pan with parchment paper.
- Grate the apples. Peel and grate your apples—this keeps the blondies moist and naturally sweet.
- Mix wet ingredients. In a large bowl, whisk together peanut butter, Greek yogurt, honey (or maple), egg, vanilla, and cinnamon.
- Add the dry. Fold in oat flour and baking powder until just combined. Don’t overmix—we want these tender!
- Fold in extras. Stir in grated apples and chocolate chunks if using.
- Bake. Pour into the pan and bake for 25–30 minutes, until edges are golden but the center is still soft and gooey.
- Cool & slice. Let cool for at least 10 minutes before cutting into squares.
Pro tip: These blondies taste even better the next day as the flavors settle into that apple-pie-peanut-butter magic!
What to Serve with Blondies
Pair these blondies with:
- A dollop of Greek yogurt or whipped cream.
- Warm apple cider or chai tea for peak cozy vibes.
- A scoop of vanilla ice cream for dessert night!
Tips for Making It Perfect
- Grate finely: The finer the apples are grated, the more moist and gooey your blondies will be.
- Don’t overbake: Pull them out when slightly underdone in the center—they’ll set as they cool.
- Chill for clean cuts: Pop in the fridge before slicing for neat squares.
Storage Instructions
- Fridge: Store in an airtight container up to 5 days.
- Freezer: Freeze blondies individually wrapped for up to 3 months.
- Reheat: Warm gently in the microwave for that fresh-baked gooeyness.
General Information
Blondies are often described as the “vanilla cousin” of brownies, but these get a seasonal twist with grated apples and peanut butter. They’re a fantastic fall bake, but honestly? I’d eat them year-round.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these vegan?
Yes—just replace the egg with a flax egg and use dairy-free yogurt.
Can I use regular flour instead of oat flour?
Yes, but the texture will be denser. Oat flour keeps them soft and moist.
Do I have to peel the apples?
Peeling is recommended for texture, but if you don’t mind flecks of skin, you can keep them on.
Can I double the recipe?
Absolutely! Just bake in a 9×13 pan and adjust the baking time slightly.
Conclusion
These Healthy Peanut Butter Greek Yogurt Apple Pie Blondies are the gooey, soul-warming treat your fall (and honestly, every season) needs. They’re wholesome, flavorful, and impossible to resist.
