Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup oat flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well using coconut oil spray to prevent sticking and avoid chemical flavors.
  2. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, creamy peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), egg, and vanilla extract until the mixture is completely smooth with no peanut butter streaks. Using room temperature ingredients will make this step much easier.
  3. Add the Dry Ingredients: Gently stir in the oat flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips carefully to avoid overmixing, which can result in tough muffins. Aim for around 15-20 stirs even if a few streaks of flour remain.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Fill the muffin cups about three-quarters full. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes until the tops turn golden and a toothpick inserted comes out with just a few moist crumbs. Start checking at 18 minutes to ensure you don’t overbake, as oat flour bakes faster than regular flour.

Notes

  • Use plain Greek yogurt to keep sugar levels low and maintain the balance with peanut butter.
  • Creamy peanut butter is preferred over chunky for a smooth muffin texture.
  • If oat flour is not available, pulse old-fashioned oats in a blender until finely ground, although store-bought oat flour delivers better texture.
  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense and tough muffins.
  • Room temperature ingredients blend more easily and produce better batter consistency.
  • Start checking muffins early to prevent drying out, especially due to the use of oat flour.
