How to Make Healthy Peanut Butter Greek Yogurt Brownie Cups

PIN IT

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with 6–9 liners. Lightly spray them with nonstick spray.

Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, and honey (or maple syrup) until creamy and smooth. You’ll smell that nutty sweetness right away—it’s divine!

Step 3: Add the Dry Ingredients

Add cocoa powder, oat flour, and baking powder. Stir until just combined—don’t overmix. The batter should be thick and glossy.

Step 4: Scoop and Swirl

Spoon the batter evenly into your muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full. Add a small dollop of peanut butter in the center of each and swirl gently with a toothpick for that gooey middle.

Step 5: Bake to Perfection

Bake for 18–20 minutes, until the tops are set but still soft in the center. Don’t overbake—we want those fudgy interiors!

Step 6: Cool & Enjoy

Let them cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a rack. Enjoy warm for ultimate gooeyness, or chill for a chewy, brownie bite texture.

What to Serve with Healthy Peanut Butter Greek Yogurt Brownie Cups

These brownie cups are perfect with:

• A cold glass of almond milk 🥛
• A drizzle of melted dark chocolate
• Fresh berries for a pop of tartness
• Or even a scoop of Protein Cookie Dough on top for the ultimate indulgence!

Tips for Making It Perfect

• Don’t overbake. A slightly underbaked center ensures the gooey fudge texture.
• Warm your peanut butter slightly so it swirls easily.
• Use full-fat Greek yogurt for the best flavor and moisture.
• Add chocolate chips on top before baking for that bakery-style finish.

Storage Instructions

• Room Temp: Store in an airtight container up to 2 days.
• Fridge: Keeps up to 5 days (texture becomes fudgier).
• Freezer: Freeze up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in fridge or warm 10 seconds in the microwave.
