How to Make Healthy Peanut Butter Greek Yogurt Chocolate Chunk Brownie Bars

PIN IT

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 baking dish with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, whisk together peanut butter, Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), eggs, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
3. In another bowl, combine oat flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and stir until just combined.
5. Fold in the chocolate chunks, saving a few to sprinkle on top.
6. Spread batter evenly in the prepared baking dish and top with remaining chocolate chunks.
7. Bake for 20–25 minutes until the edges are set but the center looks slightly underbaked (this is what makes them fudgy!).
8. Let cool completely before slicing into bars.

The smell of these baking will fill your kitchen with chocolate heaven—you’ll be tempted to cut in early, but patience is key for the perfect texture.

What to Serve with These Bars

• A glass of cold almond milk 🥛
• A warm cup of coffee or tea ☕
• Fresh berries for a fruity contrast 🍓

Tips for Making It Perfect

• Don’t overbake! The fudgy texture comes from pulling them out just before fully set.
• Use parchment paper for easy lifting and slicing.
• Add a sprinkle of flaky sea salt on top before baking for a bakery-style touch.

Storage Instructions

• Room temperature: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
• Fridge: Keeps for 5–6 days (and gets extra fudgy chilled).
• Freezer: Wrap bars individually and freeze for up to 2 months. Just thaw overnight or warm in the microwave.
