Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

1 cup Greek yogurt Base for moisture and structure.
1/2 cup honey or maple syrup For sweetness; both options work well.
1/4 cup coconut oil, melted Adds richness and smoothness.
1 teaspoon vanilla extract Enhances flavor.

Dry Ingredients

1/2 cup cocoa powder Main chocolate flavor component.
1/2 cup whole wheat flour Provides structure and sturdiness.
1/2 teaspoon baking powder Leavening agent for rise.
1/4 teaspoon salt Enhances flavor.
1/4 cup chocolate chips (optional) Adds pockets of melted chocolate, if desired.

Method

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish well, particularly at the corners.
In a large bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, cocoa powder, honey or maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla until smooth and glossy, with no cocoa streaks.
In a second bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined; do not overmix.
Optional: Fold in chocolate chips, reserving a pinch for topping, if desired.

Baking

Spread the batter into the prepared baking dish, smoothing it out into an even layer.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, checking at 20 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.

Cooling and Serving

Allow the brownies to cool in the dish before slicing for cleaner squares.
Slice into small squares for serving, great with coffee or as a snack.

Notes

Ensure to avoid overmixing once the flour is added, and always check for doneness with a toothpick. Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
