Healthy Greek Yogurt Peanut Butter Brownie Cake Squares with Crackled Tops
Ingredients
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/4 cup honey
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Pinch of salt
Optional toppings: mini chocolate chips or crushed peanuts
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth.
3. Add cocoa powder, baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Stir until fully combined — the batter will be thick and glossy.
4. Spread batter evenly into prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
5. Sprinkle with optional mini chocolate chips or peanuts for extra texture.
6. Bake for 20–25 minutes, until the top is set and slightly crackled.
7. Allow to cool completely before slicing into squares for that perfect brownie texture.
Notes
• Do not overbake — they’ll continue to firm up as they cool.
• For a vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt and honey with maple syrup.
• Store at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 1 week.
• Freeze individual squares in airtight containers for up to 2 months.
• Delicious served warm with a drizzle of peanut butter or topped with Greek yogurt and berries.
