How to Make Healthy Peanut Butter Greek Yogurt Apple Pie Bread Bars

PIN IT

1. Prep the oven & pan – Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 pan with parchment paper.
2. Mix wet ingredients – In a bowl, whisk together peanut butter, Greek yogurt, honey/maple syrup, egg, and vanilla. It should be creamy and smooth.
3. Add dry ingredients – Stir in oat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until just combined.
4. Fold in the goodies – Gently fold in diced apples and chocolate chips.
5. Bake – Pour into prepared pan and bake 25–30 minutes, until golden and set in the center.
6. Cool & slice – Let cool fully before cutting into bars.

The smell alone—warm apples, roasted peanuts, and melty chocolate—is enough to make your kitchen feel like a cozy fall hug.

What to Serve with These Bars

These bars pair beautifully with:

• A warm cup of chai tea or latte.
• A scoop of vanilla ice cream if serving as dessert.
• A drizzle of warm peanut butter on top.

Tips for Making It Perfect

• Don’t overmix – Just combine until smooth to avoid tough bars.
• Fresh apples work best – Choose crisp apples like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith.
