Deliciously moist and rich Greek Yogurt Brownies made with sugar-free chocolate chips and oat flour, offering a healthier twist on classic brownies. These brownies use Greek yogurt for added protein and moisture, while being sweetened naturally with sugar-free sweetener choices, making them perfect for a guilt-free treat.


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

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) to prepare for baking.
  2. Prepare Pan: Line an 8-inch x 8-inch brownie pan with parchment paper and lightly oil the pan to prevent sticking. Set aside.
  3. 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.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together oat flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, granulated sweetener, baking powder, and salt until fully combined.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. Add Remaining Chocolate Chips: Stir in the remaining 1/3 cup of chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter.
  8. Pour Batter: Pour the batter into the prepared brownie pan and spread evenly.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
