1. Preheat & Prep – Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease or line your baking dish.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients – In a bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), egg, and vanilla until smooth.
3. Add Dry Ingredients – Stir in oat flour, rolled oats, and baking powder until just combined. The batter will be thick and creamy.
