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 (such as Ghirardelli 60% cacao bars, roughly chopped)
Dry Ingredients and Additions
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (regular or gluten-free)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (e.g., Hershey’s)
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 cup milk (can be 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, extending the paper slightly over the edges to make removal easier later. Set the pan aside.
- Melt Chocolate and Combine Wet Ingredients: Place 1/2 cup chopped chocolate into a microwave-safe bowl. Melt in short bursts in the microwave, stirring occasionally until smooth. Allow it to cool slightly for 1-2 minutes. Then, add 1 cup Greek yogurt and 1/2 cup sweetener to the melted chocolate. Whisk this combination until smooth and well incorporated. Transfer this wet mixture to a large mixing bowl.
- Mix Dry Ingredients and Combine with Wet Ingredients: To the wet mixture, add 3/4 cup flour, 1/2 cup cocoa powder, and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda. Stir gently until just combined to avoid overmixing. Pour in 1/2 cup milk and mix until fully incorporated into a smooth batter. If using, fold in 1 cup chocolate chips gently to evenly distribute.
- Bake the Brownies: Transfer the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs, indicating doneness.
- Cool the Brownies: After baking, remove the pan from the oven and let the brownies cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully lift the brownies out using the parchment paper edges and place them on a wire rack to cool completely before cutting into squares. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Using full-fat Greek yogurt adds richness, but low-fat options can be used for a lighter version.
- Choose your favorite sugar-free sweetener that measures like sugar for best texture results.
- If you prefer gluten-free, substitute regular flour with a gluten-free all-purpose blend.
- Chocolate chips are optional but recommended for added texture contrast.
- Watch baking times closely as ovens vary; avoid overbaking for fudgy brownies.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
