Description

Delicious and healthier Greek Yogurt Brownies made with sugar-free chocolate chips, oat flour, and Greek yogurt for a moist and rich texture. These brownies are perfect for a guilt-free treat that balances indulgence with nutritious ingredients.


Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Mixture

  • ⅔ cup Sugar-Free Chocolate Chips, divided
  • 1 teaspoon Coconut Oil

Wet Ingredients

  • ¾ cup Plain Greek Yogurt
  • 1 large Egg
  • ¼ cup Almond Milk or soy milk, or any milk of choice
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Dry Ingredients

  • ½ cup Oat Flour or all-purpose flour, lightly packed, swept
  • ½ cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • ½ cup Granulated Sweetener (sugar-free brown erythritol or coconut sugar or brown sugar)
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt


Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line an 8-inch x 8-inch brownie pan with parchment paper and lightly oil the pan. Set aside.
  2. Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 1/3 cup of the sugar-free chocolate chips with 1 teaspoon of coconut oil. Stir until smooth and set aside to cool at room temperature for a few minutes.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the oat flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, granulated sweetener, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
  4. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another large bowl, whisk together the plain Greek yogurt, egg, vanilla extract, almond milk (or milk of choice), and the cooled melted chocolate mixture until smooth.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry: Sift the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Gently fold with a silicone spatula until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  6. Add Remaining Chocolate Chips: Stir in the remaining 1/3 cup sugar-free chocolate chips evenly into the batter.
  7. Pour and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared brownie pan, spreading evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-23 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool immediately on a cooling rack for about an hour before cutting into 16 squares and serving.

Notes

  • Storage: Store brownies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days or freeze in freezer bags for up to 1 month. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
  • Oven Mode: These brownies are baked using fan-forced (convection) mode. If using a conventional oven, increase the temperature by 25°F (15°C) and monitor the baking time, which may increase slightly.
