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 such as sugar-free brown erythritol, coconut sugar, or brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- ¼ teaspoon Salt
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) to prepare for baking.
- Prepare Pan: Line an 8-inch x 8-inch brownie pan with parchment paper and lightly oil the pan to prevent sticking. Set aside.
- Melt Chocolate Mixture: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 1/3 cup of the chocolate chips together with 1 teaspoon coconut oil. Allow this to cool for a few minutes at room temperature.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together oat flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, granulated sweetener, baking powder, and salt until fully combined.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate large bowl, whisk the plain Greek yogurt, egg, vanilla extract, almond milk, and the cooled melted chocolate mixture until smooth.
- Combine Mixtures: Sift the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and gently fold using a silicone spatula until just combined, taking care not to overmix.
- Add Remaining Chocolate Chips: Stir in the remaining 1/3 cup of chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter.
- Pour Batter: Pour the batter into the prepared brownie pan and spread evenly.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 20-23 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Remove from oven and cool immediately on a cooling rack for about one hour before cutting into 16 squares.
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: Use fan-forced (convection) mode if available. If baking conventionally, increase the temperature by 25°F (15°C) and monitor closely as the baking time may slightly vary.
