Skinny Brownies

So I stumbled upon this recipe while looking for something to do with my vanilla yogurt that was just starting to turn sour. I literally just opened it today and had to do something with it fast. I came across this "skinny" recipe from sallysbakingaddiction, and normally I am a little weary of anything "skinny". I try my best to avoid things that are labeled fat-free, low-fat, sugar-free, because typically they are full of other fake sugars and chemicals that are worse than just eating the sugar or fat by themselves. But this recipe had none of that so I said why not?


You will need:
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
6 oz. vanilla yogurt(can use Greek is recommended, I did not though)
1/4 cup milk(use skim for less cal)
1 large egg(or two egg whites)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup sugar
1/2 unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 old fashion rolled oats(She recommends to process the oats first but I already have a powdered oats mix that I add to smoothies so I used that)


  1. Preheat oven to 350F. Line an 8x8 baking dish foil and spray with oil.
  2. Place all of the ingredients except for the peanut butter into food processor. Grind the oats first in the processor, then add wet ingredients and blend well. finally add dry ingredients and mix well.
  3. Pour batter into prepared baking dish. Microwave peanut butter for about 30 seconds. Drop melted peanut butter by spoonfuls onto the batter, swirling gently with a knife to create a marbled effect.
  4. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until brownies begin to pull away from the sides of the pan. Wait until COMPLETELY cooled before cutting into. Hard I know but it makes them much easier to cut into.
