Ingredients
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (unsweetened)
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ cup zero-calorie sweetener (erythritol, monk fruit, or stevia blend)
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup whole wheat flour or almond flour
- ¼ cup melted coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- Optional: ¼ cup sugar-free dark chocolate chips or chopped nuts
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8-inch pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until evenly blended.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, eggs, sweetener, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Combine mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain a soft texture.
- Add mix-ins (optional): Fold in sugar-free chocolate chips or nuts for extra flavor and crunch.
- Pour and spread: Transfer the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly using a spatula.
- Bake: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 20–25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool: Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for 20–30 minutes before slicing to help them set properly.
- Serve: Cut into even squares and enjoy as is, or top with a spoonful of Greek yogurt or melted sugar-free chocolate for an elegant touch.
Notes
Avoid overbaking to keep the brownies fudgy and moist.
To make gluten-free brownies, substitute almond flour for wheat flour.
Add a teaspoon of espresso powder to deepen the chocolate flavor.
These brownies can be stored in an airtight container for 3 days at room temperature or up to a week in the refrigerator.
