How to Make Healthy Peanut Butter Greek Yogurt Oatmeal Donut Bars with Chocolate Drizzle

  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.
  4. Bake – Spread batter evenly in the dish. Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until golden and set in the center.
  5. Cool & Drizzle – Once cooled, melt dark chocolate and drizzle generously over the bars. Let set before slicing.

The smell of peanut butter and oats baking together is heavenly—you’ll have to resist cutting into them before they’re cool enough to drizzle with chocolate!
