Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek Yogurt (can substitute with firm soy or coconut yogurt for dairy-free)
- 1 Egg (essential for maintaining brownie texture)
- ½ cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- ⅓ cup Granular Sweetener (Erythritol; can be swapped with stevia or monk fruit for lower-carb)
- 1 teaspoon Coffee Powder (optional; enhances chocolate flavor)
- 1 pinch Salt (optional; balances sweetness)
- ½ cup Chocolate Chips (optional topping for extra sweetness)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a 7×7 inch brownie pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal.
- Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, egg, cocoa powder, and erythritol. Stir gently until the batter is smooth and well blended. If desired, add coffee powder and salt to enhance flavor.
- Pour Batter and Add Toppings: Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly. Optionally, sprinkle chocolate chips on top for extra sweetness and texture.
- Bake the Brownies: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 22 to 30 minutes. Check the brownies around the 25-minute mark by inserting a toothpick to ensure they are set but still moist.
- Cool and Slice: Allow the brownies to cool completely at room temperature in the pan before slicing. Cooling helps the brownies set properly and improves texture.
Notes
- For dairy-free options, substitute Greek yogurt with firm soy or coconut-based yogurt.
- If you prefer a lower-carb sweetener, stevia or monk fruit can replace erythritol.
- The coffee powder is optional but helps enhance the chocolate flavor.
- Make sure not to overbake; the brownies should be moist and fudgy inside.
- Cooling completely before slicing ensures cleaner cuts and better texture.
- Use parchment paper for easy removal and cleanup.
