Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8 x 8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides. Set aside.
- Place the chopped chocolate in a heat safe bowl and gently melt it using short microwave bursts, stirring between each, until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the Greek yogurt and zero-calorie sweetener until smooth and creamy.
- Whisk the melted, slightly cooled chocolate into the yogurt mixture until glossy and fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly mixed and free of lumps.
- Add the dry ingredients to the yogurt mixture. Pour in the almond milk and stir with a spatula just until no dry flour remains. The batter will be thick.
- Fold in the chocolate chips if using, then scrape the batter into the prepared pan. Smooth the top into an even layer with a spatula.
- Bake for 25 minutes, or until the edges are set and just starting to pull away from the pan and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
- Place the pan on a wire rack and cool the brownies in the pan for at least 10 to 15 minutes. Lift out using the parchment, cool completely, then slice and serve.
Notes
- Greek yogurt makes a thicker batter and a dense, fudgy brownie texture. This is normal.
- A slight sink in the center after baking is expected with yogurt based, low sugar brownies and does not affect taste.
- Cool fully before slicing so the brownies set and cut cleanly.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- For longer storage, wrap individual squares and freeze for up to 3 months; thaw at room temperature for about 1 hour.
- Warm a brownie in the microwave for 10 to 15 seconds before serving if you like a softer, just-baked texture.
