A couple years ago I learned a tip that has revolutionized how I make baked goods for my family.

I’ve been using Mountain High Yoghurt as a yoghurt substitution for higher fat ingredients and it has not only made my recipes healthier… but so much moister too! My yoghurt recipe for thick and chewy chocolate chip & peanut butter cookie bars is a family favorite of ours and I hope yours too!

These are so easy to make too!

I was able to make a whole pan of them from start to finish (me eating them) in less than an hour!

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
  • 2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup coconut oil
  • 2 cups raw sugar
  • 1 tsp agave
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup lowfat plain Mountain High Yoghurt

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Mix all wet ingredients together.
  3. Slowly add all dry ingredients to the wet ingredients with the flour last.
  4. Add batter to a greased pan.
  5. Bake for 25+ minutes. I always start checking it at the 20 minute mark. It’s done when it’s golden brown on top.
