Ingredients
Scale
Wet Mixture
- 1/2 cup sweetener (sugar-free, white or brown sugar alternative)
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat for richness)
- 1/2 cup chopped chocolate (preferably Ghirardelli 60% cacao bars, roughly chopped)
Dry Ingredients and Additions
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (King Arthur all-purpose flour or gluten-free alternative)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (e.g. Hershey’s)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 cup milk (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, allowing the paper to overhang the edges for easy removal. Set the pan aside.
- Melt Chocolate and Combine Wet Ingredients: Place the 1/2 cup chopped chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Let it cool for 1-2 minutes, then add the Greek yogurt and sweetener. Whisk thoroughly until smooth and well combined. Transfer this mixture to a large mixing bowl.
- Mix Dry Ingredients and Combine with Wet Ingredients: Add the flour, cocoa powder, and baking soda to the wet chocolate mixture. Stir gently until just combined to avoid overmixing. Pour in the milk and stir until the batter is fully incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chips evenly if using.
- Bake the Brownies: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the surface with a spatula. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. Test doneness by inserting a toothpick or skewer into the center; it should come out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs but no raw batter.
- Cool the Brownies: Remove the pan from the oven and allow the brownies to cool for about 10 minutes in the pan. Using the parchment paper overhang, lift the brownies out and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing into squares. Enjoy!
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, use a non-dairy Greek-style yogurt and almond milk or another plant-based milk.
- Ensure the sweetener used is suitable for baking and zero sugar to keep the recipe sugar-free.
- Do not overmix the batter to maintain a fudgy texture.
- Allow brownies to cool completely for best slicing and texture.
- Chocolate chips add texture but can be omitted or replaced with chopped nuts.
