Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt (nonfat or low-fat)
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup almond flour (or oat flour)
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- â…“ cup erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
Optional Mix-ins
- â…“ cup sugar-free chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter swirl
- Pinch of espresso powder for richer flavor
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking pan with parchment paper or spray it with nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Add almond flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, erythritol or monk fruit sweetener, salt, and baking powder. Stir the mixture well until fully combined; the batter will be thick in texture.
- Fold in Mix-ins: If using, gently fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips, chopped walnuts, peanut butter swirl, and a pinch of espresso powder to enhance richness and texture.
- Prepare for Baking: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly using a spatula to ensure uniform thickness.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing. Cooling helps the brownies firm up for clean, beautiful edges and better texture.
Notes
- Using Greek yogurt keeps these brownies moist and adds protein without extra fat.
- Almond flour can be substituted with oat flour for a slightly different texture.
- If you prefer, omit chocolate chips or walnuts to keep the recipe simpler.
- The peanut butter swirl adds a delightful flavor contrast but can be skipped for a pure chocolate taste.
- Espresso powder is optional, but it amplifies the chocolate depth without adding a coffee taste.
- Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
