Directions for Greek Yogurt Brownies

Let’s bake these protein-packed brownies!

Preheat and Prep

I preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). I grease an 8×8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal of these fudgy yogurt brownies.

Mix Wet Ingredients

In a large bowl, I whisk ½ cup Greek yogurt, ¼ cup applesauce, 1 egg, and 1 tsp vanilla extract until smooth, creating a creamy base for these low-sugar chocolate treats.

Add Dry Ingredients

I sift in ¼ cup cocoa powder, ½ cup almond flour, ¼ cup sweetener, ½ tsp baking soda, and ¼ tsp salt. I stir gently until just combined, avoiding overmixing for fudgy Greek Yogurt Brownies.

Fold in Chocolate Chips

I fold in ¼ cup sugar-free chocolate chips, adding pockets of gooey chocolate to these protein-packed brownies.

Bake

I pour the batter into the prepared dish, spreading evenly with a spatula. I bake for 20–25 minutes until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs, ensuring moist fudgy yogurt brownies.

Cool and Serve

I let the brownies cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes before slicing into 9 squares. I serve warm or chilled, enjoying the rich flavor of these low-sugar chocolate treats.
