Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup sweetener (sugar-free, white or brown sugar alternative)
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat recommended for richness)
- 1/2 cup chopped chocolate (preferably 60% cacao, roughly chopped)
Dry Ingredients and Additions
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (King Arthur all-purpose or gluten-free alternative)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (such as Hershey’s)
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 cup milk (can use unsweetened almond milk or preferred milk)
- 1 cup chocolate chips (optional, for texture variation)
Instructions
- Prepare the Baking Pan and Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line an 8 x 8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring the paper extends over the edges to aid in easy removal. Set aside.
- Melt Chocolate and Combine Wet Ingredients: Place 1/2 cup chopped chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Melt in short bursts, stirring occasionally until smooth. Let cool for 1-2 minutes, then whisk in 1 cup Greek yogurt and 1/2 cup sweetener until smooth and well combined. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
- Mix Dry Ingredients and Combine with Wet Ingredients: Add 3/4 cup flour, 1/2 cup cocoa powder, and 1/2 tsp baking soda to the chocolate mixture. Stir gently until just combined to avoid overmixing. Pour in 1/2 cup milk and mix well until fully incorporated. Fold in 1 cup chocolate chips if using, distributing evenly.
- Bake the Brownies: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool the Brownies: Remove from oven and cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Lift brownies out using parchment paper overhang and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before cutting into squares.
Notes
- For richer flavor, use full-fat Greek yogurt.
- The sweetener can be any sugar-free option, adjust to taste.
- Do not overmix batter to keep brownies tender.
- Chocolate chips are optional but add a nice texture contrast.
- Ensure brownies are fully cooled before slicing for clean cuts.
- Store brownies in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for longer storage.
