Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt Use thick Greek yogurt for the best texture.
  • 2 pieces eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup almond flour Can substitute with a gluten-free 1:1 flour.
  • 1/2 cup sweetener of choice e.g., erythritol, stevia, etc.
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
Optional Toppers
  • chocolate chips or nuts Use sparingly to avoid uneven baking.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup Greek yogurt, 2 eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth.
Mix Dry Ingredients
  1. In a separate bowl, sift or whisk together 1/2 cup cocoa powder, 1/2 cup almond flour, 1/2 cup sweetener, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
Combine Batter
  1. Gradually add the dry mix to the wet, folding gently until just combined.
  2. If using, fold in chocolate chips or nuts.
  3. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it into an even layer.
Baking
  1. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Start checking at 18 minutes with a toothpick; it should come out with a few moist crumbs.
  2. Cool in the pan to room temperature before cutting.

Notes

For best results, avoid overmixing, ensure yogurt is thick, and do not overcrowd with toppings. For a nut-free version, use a suitable gluten-free flour. To enhance fudginess, reduce baking time slightly or add neutral oil.
