Description
Fudgy Greek Yogurt Brownies mix rich cocoa with creamy yogurt for a lower-fat treat that is quick and easy to make.
Ingredients
Scale
- ¾ cup plain Greek yogurt (2% or full fat)
- 2 large eggs (or use flax eggs: 2 tbsp ground flax + 6 tbsp water, set 5 minutes)
- ⅓ cup maple syrup (or another liquid sweetener of your choice)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ cup almond flour or oat flour
- ¼ tsp fine salt
- ¼ cup dark chocolate chips, or chopped nuts, or a sprinkle of sea salt (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Whisk together Greek yogurt, eggs (or flax eggs), maple syrup, and vanilla in a medium bowl until smooth.
- Mix cocoa powder, almond or oat flour, and salt in a separate bowl until blended.
- Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
- Gently fold in chocolate chips or nuts if using.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth it out.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until the top is set and a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool completely in the pan, then refrigerate for 1 hour before slicing into squares.
Notes
Use room-temperature eggs if possible. If your Greek yogurt is very thick, stir it until smooth before measuring. Start checking the oven at 18 minutes to avoid overbaking.
