Ingredients
- ½ cup 120g plain Greek yogurt (non-fat or low-fat)
- ¼ cup 25g unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ cup 60g almond flour
- ¼ cup 50g sugar-free sweetener (erythritol or monk fruit)
- ¼ cup 60g unsweetened applesauce
- ¼ cup 45g sugar-free chocolate chips
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
Instructions
Preheat and Prep
- I preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). I grease an 8x8-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.
Notes
- Use a flax egg and plant-based yogurt for a vegan version.
- Do not overbake—slightly underdone yields a fudgier texture.
- Store in the fridge up to 5 days or freeze individually for up to 2 months.
- Add toppings like walnuts, sugar-free caramel, or raspberries for variety.
- Best sweeteners include monk fruit or erythritol; adjust to taste if using stevia.
