Ingredients

Base Ingredients

1 cup Greek yogurt (whole or 2%) Adds creaminess and moisture, making your brownies fudgy.
3/4 cup sugar substitute, like erythritol or monk fruit sweetener Has a similar taste to sugar without the extra calories.
2 large eggs, at room temperature Room temperature eggs mix better and create fluffier brownies.
1/2 cup melted butter or neutral oil like avocado oil Butter gives a rich flavor while oil keeps them moist.
1 teaspoon vanilla extract Use pure vanilla extract for the best taste.
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder Adds deep chocolate flavor; sift if lumpy.
3/4 cup almond flour or regular all-purpose flour Almond flour yields slightly denser brownies.
1/2 teaspoon baking powder Crucial for lift; don't forget it!
1/4 teaspoon fine salt Enhances sweetness and depth of flavor.

Optional Add-ins

1/3 cup sugar-free chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate Add extra chocolate goodness.
2 tablespoons unsweetened cacao nibs or toasted nuts Provides a crunchy texture and rich taste.

Method

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 350°F and line an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper, lightly greasing it.
In a bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, sugar substitute, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth.
In another bowl, sift or mix together the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients in two additions, mixing until just combined.
If using, fold in the chocolate chips and pour the batter into the prepared pan, leveling the top.

Baking

Bake for 18-22 minutes, until the top is set and a toothpick comes out with some moist crumbs.
Let it cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes before cutting into squares.

Serving

Serve the brownies with a dollop of Greek yogurt and some fruit if desired.

Notes

These brownies store well in the fridge for up to five days. They can be enjoyed cold or warmed in the microwave. Keeping them in an airtight container helps maintain moisture. Alternative methods include using coconut oil for a dairy-free option and pre-measured mixes for quicker prep.
