Description
Ultra-fudgy, low-sugar brownies made with protein-packed Greek yogurt for a moist, rich chocolate treat that still feels light enough for everyday dessert.
Ingredients
1 cup (240 g) plain Greek yogurt
2 large eggs
1/2 cup (100 g) coconut sugar or baking sweetener
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup (50 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup (60 g) all-purpose flour or oat flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 cup (45 g) dark chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch (20×20 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy lifting.
2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, eggs, coconut sugar (or sweetener), and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
3. Sift in the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet just until no dry streaks remain.
4. Fold in the dark chocolate chips, if using, and spread the thick batter evenly into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
5. Bake for 18–24 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center still looks slightly soft and glossy. Do not overbake for fudgy brownies.
6. Place the pan on a wire rack and let the brownies cool completely before lifting out and slicing into 12 squares.
Notes
For the fudgiest texture, use full-fat Greek yogurt rather than nonfat.
Slightly underbaking the center keeps these brownies moist and dense; they will continue to set as they cool.
You can swap all-purpose flour for oat flour for a more whole-grain, gluten-friendly option.
Use a baking-approved low-calorie sweetener if you want these brownies very low sugar.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4–5 days; the texture becomes even fudgier by the next day.
