Step-by-Step Instructions:
1️⃣ Preheat & Prep:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a small baking pan (8×8 works great) with parchment paper for easy removal.
2️⃣ Mix the Wet Ingredients:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
3️⃣ Add the Dry Ingredients:
Stir in the oat flour, baking soda, and cinnamon until fully combined and no dry spots remain.
4️⃣ Optional: Fold in Chocolate Chips:
If you’re using mini chocolate chips (highly recommended!), gently fold them into the batter.
5️⃣ Bake It:
Spread the batter evenly into your prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake for 20–23 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and a toothpick comes out clean or with just a few crumbs.
6️⃣ Cool & Slice:
Let the blondies cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares. They’ll firm up as they cool!
