Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 35 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 C flour: oat, WW, AP
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • ¼ tsp. sea salt extra for topping
  • Pinch of cinnamon
  • 2 TBSP butter, room temperature vegan or regular
  • 1 egg
  • 1 ½ TBSP stevia
  • 2 TBSP + 1 tsp. stevia brown sugar*
  • 1 TBSP vanilla
  • 3 TBSP maple syrup (Lakanto, monk fruit)
  • 5 oz. unsweetened plain yogurt Greek or dairy-free
  • ½ C creamy peanut butter
  • ¼ C Nutella or Nutiva*

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F
  • Combine the flour, baking powder, sea salt, and cinnamon in a bowl and set aside
  • In a separate bowl, cream the butter, egg, stevia, and stevia brown sugar together with a hand mixer*
  • Incorporate the vanilla, syrup, yogurt, and peanut butter into the butter and egg mixture
  • Mix the dry ingredients into the wet until it's smooth and clump-free
  • Evenly spread the batter into a prepared 8x8 or 9x9 baking pan
  • Make 4 evenly spaced parallel lines of Nutiva or Nutella across the batter
  • Lightly drag a butter knife through the batter in the opposite direction of the Nutiva or Nutella lines to create swirled lines
  • Bake for 20-22 minutes or until the edges are golden brown – it’s okay if the middle isn’t fully cooked, the bars will continue to cook as they cool
  • Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top of the bars (optional) and let cool before cutting into 12 equal squares

Notes

  • *Stevia brown sugar: can also use regular brown sugar or date sugar
  • *Nutella or Nutiva: you can use more or less depending on your personal preference. If you’re not a Nutella fan, you can always keep them plain or add chocolate chips – it's up to you!
  • *3. It’s okay if you don’t have a hand mixer, it can be mixed by hand!
