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. 🙂
You can’t go wrong with peanut butter-ever!
So true! 🙂
I 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!
A peanut butter flavour would be amazing!! Your recipe is a excellent sub until that happens! Can’t wait to try 🙂
Oh 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…
I’d love to know the answer to that too! That looks like a delicious breakfast that I shall have to try tomorrow!
Peanut butter + yogurt + granola?! I tote’s magoats know what I am having for breakfast tomorrow!! Thanks for the stellar idea girl! 🙂
Oh 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 (:
I am going to try that treadmill workout in the morning!
I 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 🙂
Love this idea! I swear, someone is going to come out with a PB greek yogurt really soon.
I know!! I’m patiently waiting. 🙂
Add a little chocolate, and your breakfast would be perfection for me.
Oh yea – chocolate would have been a great addition. Love Grown Foods actually has a chocolate granola. That would have been perfect!
It’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!!!! 🙂
This 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!
Peanut 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!
This 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 : )
Were did you get these cute ramkins? Just curious! 😀
World market
World Market- and they have other colors too!
I 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!
I 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.
I’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.
Oh 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!
How is there not a peanut butter flavored yogurt yet?! Someone really should get on that!
One 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.
I 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!
If 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.
For 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.
Yumm, sounds like a great idea…what doesn’t PB make taste better??
I 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?
Totally. I think I need to start a PB yogurt company. 🙂
I never thought about putting PB in my yogurt. I just bought some organic PB and I’m going to try this out.
I 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!
This 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 🙂
I’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.
I 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!
Holy 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????
I 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!
YES!! I have totally done that before and loved it! 🙂
Holy 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!
I 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!
I know this is several, several years later but Chobani made a flip yogurt called Peanut Butter Dream and it is amazing.
Okios has peanut butter banana! It’s pretty good!
There 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.
