Perfect for breakfast, snacking or dessert this peanut butter yogurt fluff bowl is packed with protein and delightfully fluffy.
I’m a creature of habit so when I find a breakfast item I like that’s healthy and tasty I tend to stick with it. Of course I switch things up every so often but during a typical week I have same meal for breakfast 4-5 times. One nice thing is that most of my favorite breakfast options are quick to prepare and easy to change up with different flavors or toppings.
While working out at the gym this morning I started thinking about what I was going to have for breakfast when I got home. I thought about making a protein pancake for the week but out of no where I decided to have yogurt instead. Normally I save yogurt for snacking but it sounded good for breakfast today so I decided to roll with it.
Things got a little crazy once I was home and showered. I pulled out the yogurt and made a delicious fluffy breakfast bowl with peanut butter, banana and a little grain-free granola.
I’m positive this combo has been done before as many people make yogurt bowls for breakfast and top them with fruit, granola and nut butters but I think this is worth sharing. Especially with the added trick of whipping the yogurt together with peanut butter and stevia. It makes the yogurt extra fluffy and voluminous.
To be honest the main thing I kept thinking while eating this (besides how delicious and fluffy it was) was why the heck yogurt companies haven’t jumped on the peanut butter bandwagon? I know I’ve seen peanut butter frozen yogurt and there are so many different flavors of regular/ Greek yogurt – chocolate, apple pie, cherry cobbler. Where’s the peanut butter flavor? OR the peanut butter BANANA flavor?
Now that I know this little fluffy yogurt hack I’m excited to make other fluff bowl flavors. I think a chocolate version needs to happen next!

PinDescription
Perfect for breakfast, snacking or dessert this peanut butter yogurt fluff bowl is packed with protein and delightfully fluffy.
Ingredients
- 1 cup plain 2% or full-fat Greek yogurt
- 1–2 Tablespoons peanut butter, almond butter, cashew butter or your favorite nut butter
- 10 drops of liquid vanilla stevia (or your favorite natural sweetener)
- banana slices, blueberries and extra nut butter for drizzling
- 1/8 cup granola (I used a grain-free granola)
Instructions
- Add yogurt, nut butter and stevia into a small mixing bowl and whisk together using a spoon until the yogurt gets a bit fluffy. (I’ve only done it with a spoon but I’m sure it will work with an immersion blender or stand mixer as well!)
- Portion yogurt into a bowl and top with granola, fruit and an extra drizzle of nut butter. Enjoy!
Notes
Feel free to experiment with non-diary yogurt. I bet it would be delicious with full-fat coconut milk yogurt. You can also try it with peanut flour instead of nut butter for a lower calorie option! And of course you get to decide the toppings. Get creative with them.

It makes perfect sense that I like this combination of flavors considering whenever I get fro yo I always get both tart and peanut butter and put fruit on top. Sounds like an odd mix, but I promise it’s good. If you like yogurt and peanut butter, you HAVE to try this protein-packed bowl.
I’m curious, have you seen any yogurt brands that have a peanut butter flavor? If it’s out there, I want to find it. 🙂

September 14, 2011 at 9:36 pmSo true! 🙂
Sweet and Savvy says
September 14, 2011 at 9:29 pmI have always wondered the same thing about why there isn’t peanut butter yogurt! The flavor Would be such an amazing hit! Guess we will Have to create our own until then! Sounds like a great breakfast!
Lauren @ What Lauren Likes says
September 14, 2011 at 9:39 pmA peanut butter flavour would be amazing!! Your recipe is a excellent sub until that happens! Can’t wait to try 🙂
Anna says
September 14, 2011 at 10:09 pmOh my gosh I would die if there was a peanut butter yogurt. I think the closest I could imagine would be to use peanut flour (why doesn’t Trader Joes still make it?!) with plain greek yogurt..but of course..that would require peanut flour which I dont have…
Candy @ Healthy in Candy Land says
September 14, 2011 at 11:09 pmI’d love to know the answer to that too! That looks like a delicious breakfast that I shall have to try tomorrow!
Wendi says
September 14, 2011 at 11:35 pmPeanut butter + yogurt + granola?! I tote’s magoats know what I am having for breakfast tomorrow!! Thanks for the stellar idea girl! 🙂
Jamee Dyches says
September 14, 2011 at 11:55 pmOh my god, YES. This is the best idea. So simple, I can’t believe I haven’t thought of trying it! I have all of these ingredients on hand and I was trying to figure out what to do with my last plain greek yogurt. Perfect timing! Thanks for sharing (:

September 15, 2011 at 12:12 amI am going to try that treadmill workout in the morning!
Tracy says
September 15, 2011 at 7:05 amI have wondered that so many times! I like to make my own pb yogurt too. Maybe Chobani will read your post and start developing a recipe 🙂
Lauren says
September 15, 2011 at 7:54 amLove this idea! I swear, someone is going to come out with a PB greek yogurt really soon.
Eating Bird Food says
September 15, 2011 at 8:51 amI know!! I’m patiently waiting. 🙂
Sarah says
September 15, 2011 at 8:20 amAdd a little chocolate, and your breakfast would be perfection for me.
Eating Bird Food says
September 15, 2011 at 8:51 amOh yea – chocolate would have been a great addition. Love Grown Foods actually has a chocolate granola. That would have been perfect!
Liz @ IHeartVegetables says
September 15, 2011 at 9:25 amIt’s so weird, I LOVE yogurt and I LOVE Peanut butter but I can honestly say I’ve never tried the two together! I always put peanut butter in my banana smoothies. I can only imagine how delicious it would be on yogurt! I think I need to try this asap!!
Also, I’m having so much fun looking through your recipes!!!! 🙂
kathyfannon says
September 15, 2011 at 9:25 amThis sounds amazing, and I don’t even like peanut butter! You are always so creative! I do the Greek yogurt, fruit, granola thing for breakfast in the summer, but it’s starting to get too cold for that now. But I might try this just for fun! 🙂
Raw honey would be a great sweetener too, and it’s very healthy for us!
Hilliary@HappilyEverHealthy says
September 15, 2011 at 9:42 amPeanut butter is my favorite thing in the world, I don’t think I could ever give it up! I am going to have to try this!
Ashley @ Freckles & Spice says
September 15, 2011 at 9:48 amThis is genius. It is one of those things that is so simple and such a give in, but hasn’t been done. I’ve seen coffee yogurt, but sadly no pb. I bet making it yourself is better anyway : )
Rachel says
September 15, 2011 at 10:04 amWere did you get these cute ramkins? Just curious! 😀
Eating Bird Food says
September 15, 2011 at 12:01 pmWorld market
Eating Bird Food says
September 16, 2011 at 6:39 amWorld Market- and they have other colors too!
Ari@ThE DiVa DiSh says
September 15, 2011 at 11:03 amI love that combo! I just gave my daughter greek yogurt this morning, but I never thought to add PB! I’m gonna do that next time!
Abby @ Abz 'n' Oats says
September 15, 2011 at 11:21 amI eat the same breakfast for days in a row too–ex–today was day 3 in a row of protein pancakes. Yum!
I make this yogurt combination sometimes but top it with the Cocoa Goodness Love Grown! So good! 🙂 Another thing that I have tried that is easier to mix with the yogurt is PB2.
Max@flavortogofast says
September 15, 2011 at 12:01 pmI’ve become such a huge fan of mixing some almond butter into my nonfat greek yogurt. with plenty o’ cinnamon and occasional vanilla plant fusion protein powder.
Ashley @ My Food 'N' Fitness Diaries says
September 15, 2011 at 2:57 pmOh boy, it would be the best day of my life if I ran into peanut butter yogurt! Your combo sounds delicious…I’ll have to try this!
Alexa @ Simple Eats says
September 15, 2011 at 3:18 pmHow is there not a peanut butter flavored yogurt yet?! Someone really should get on that!
Rhonda says
September 15, 2011 at 4:17 pmOne of my favorite breakfasts is Greek non-fat yogurt w/ chocolate protein powder and a TBSP of natural peanut butter. I can eat this for weeks on end.
Emily says
September 15, 2011 at 4:24 pmI have been loving peanut butter in greek yogurt too recently! I have been eating it as an snack for dipping green apples into. Its so good! I mix ~1 tbsp of pb with ~2-3 tbsps of greek nonfat pain yogurt and sprinkle in some cinnamon. Also- so I dont have to stir quite so hard I have been putting the pb in the bowl first, then microwaving it for about 30 secs to soften it. Stirs in very easily that way and doesnt make the mix hot!

September 15, 2011 at 5:19 pmIf you don’t mind me asking, how many calories do you eat every day, or try to eat? I find if I don’t count every calorie, or at least be very mindful of it, I gain weight.
Eating Bird Food says
September 15, 2011 at 5:53 pmFor the most part I don’t really count calories, but I would imagine that I eat around 1,500-2,000 depending on the day.
Emily says
September 15, 2011 at 9:10 pmYumm, sounds like a great idea…what doesn’t PB make taste better??
Moni'sMeals says
September 15, 2011 at 9:33 pmI am a HUGE fan of putting pb in my greek yogurt! Great minds think alike.
I have not seen a brand out there yet…hmmm, we must be on to something, eh?
Eating Bird Food says
September 16, 2011 at 11:14 pmTotally. I think I need to start a PB yogurt company. 🙂
Jonathan | World of Diets says
September 16, 2011 at 7:23 amI never thought about putting PB in my yogurt. I just bought some organic PB and I’m going to try this out.
Alex says
September 16, 2011 at 10:36 amI had basically this same thing for breakfast yesterday morning! I like to do a little bit of protein powder sometimes to sweeten plain greek yogurt!
Jordan says
September 16, 2011 at 11:35 amThis looks delicious! I’m a lot lazier in the morning, especially on weekdays, and stick to the same thing too. I have a couple of my breakfast items on my blog 🙂
Emily says
September 16, 2011 at 12:08 pmI’m eating this as I type. I made it but with what I had in my house, instant maple and brown sugar and regular milk… so good! I can’t wait to go buy some healthy ingredients for my home. The peanut butter and banana make it seem like there is a peanut butter and banana oatmeal.
Marianne says
September 17, 2011 at 2:37 amI almost religiously mix peanut butter and maple syrup into my Greek yogurt, because it’s kind of amazing. Add some fruit and granola, and you’ve got yourself a meal or snack (depending on the serving size). So easy, filling, and nutritious!
Katie says
September 18, 2011 at 6:51 pmHoly CATS!!! I stirred some almond butter into my vanilla yogurt today with some blueberries and WOW!!!! When I took the last bite, I feared my life might end because I was so ridiculously happy. Why have I never tried that before????
Paige @ Healthy Hits the Spot says
March 12, 2012 at 10:38 amI am totally a creature of habit when it comes to eating the same things (mainly breakfast.) I am SO like this with Oatmeal! Haha! I love love love peanut butter in my yogurt too! Try mixing peanut butter and yogurt together to make a dip for apples. Oh my goodness! It’s so good I know you will love it!
Eating Bird Food says
March 12, 2012 at 10:48 amYES!! I have totally done that before and loved it! 🙂
tracie says
July 21, 2013 at 11:13 amHoly cow.. I think every morning, why isnt there peanut butter yogurt? I put it in every flavor with granola too! My fav is Chobani coco loco!
lizzy says
September 21, 2014 at 11:10 pmI just tried it for my evening snack instead of peanut butter and crackers and i had plain fage greek yogurt and crazy richards natural
peanut butter it was surprisingly good!
Jeff says
August 30, 2016 at 11:53 pmI know this is several, several years later but Chobani made a flip yogurt called Peanut Butter Dream and it is amazing.
Jess says
April 27, 2018 at 3:48 pmOkios has peanut butter banana! It’s pretty good!
Paula says
May 4, 2018 at 10:03 amThere actually was a peanut butter banana flavored greek yogurt. I believe the brand was Oikos. Not sure if it was just seasonal or a full time flavor.
Thanks for sharing. I will definitely be trying the whip technique.
Noelle says
March 2, 2019 at 11:36 pmWhat!? I made 2/3 of the recipe because I thought it was going to be too good to be true. I was wrong!! I have to go make more immediately. I used an immersion blender and fluffed the yogurt and peanut butter with some honey. (It would also make an excellent dip at this point!) added bananas and granola and had a delicious late night snack. Thank you!

Brittany Mullins says
March 3, 2019 at 10:01 amYes!! I’m so glad that you liked it, Noelle. And yes, I totally agree that it would make an awesome dip. Perfect for dipping apples.
