How to Make Healthy Peanut Butter Greek Yogurt Banana Dark Chocolate Fudge Brownie Bars

PIN IT

1. Preheat oven & prep pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
2. Mash bananas: In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.
3. Mix wet ingredients: Stir in peanut butter, Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), egg, and vanilla extract until creamy.
4. Add dry ingredients: Fold in oat flour, baking soda, and salt. The batter should be thick but spreadable.
5. Add chocolate: Gently fold in half the dark chocolate chunks.
6. Bake: Spread the batter evenly into the pan, sprinkle the remaining chocolate on top, and bake for 25–30 minutes, until the edges are set but the center looks slightly fudgy.
7. Cool & slice: Let the bars cool completely before slicing into squares.

The hardest part? Waiting for them to cool without sneaking bites!

What to Serve with Healthy Brownie Bars

• Line the pan with parchment for easy removal.
• Chill the bars for an hour after baking for cleaner slices.
