Zero Sugar Brownies Recipe

Introduction

These zero sugar brownies offer a rich, chocolatey treat without the guilt of added sugars. Made with non-dairy yogurt and your choice of sweetener, they’re perfect for anyone looking to enjoy a healthier brownie option at home.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup chopped chocolate pieces
• 1 cup non-dairy Greek yogurt
• 1/2 cup sweetener of choice (sugar-free, white or brown sugar)
• 3/4 cup regular or gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup cocoa powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 cup preferred milk (like unsweetened almond milk)
• 1 cup optional chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line an 8 x 8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, letting the paper hang over the edges for easy removal. Set the pan aside.
2. Step 2: Place the chopped chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Melt it in short bursts, stirring occasionally until smooth. Let cool for 1-2 minutes, then whisk in the non-dairy yogurt and sweetener until smooth. Transfer this mixture to a large bowl.
3. Step 3: Add the flour, cocoa powder, and baking soda to the chocolate mixture. Stir gently until just combined to avoid overmixing. Pour in the milk and mix well. If using, fold the chocolate chips into the batter evenly.
4. Step 4: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the surface with a spatula. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
5. Step 5: Remove the brownies from the oven and cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Use the parchment paper to lift them out and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before cutting.

Tips & Variations

• For extra fudgy brownies, slightly underbake and allow them to set completely as they cool.
• Swap the non-dairy yogurt with regular Greek yogurt if dairy is not a concern.
• Add a pinch of cinnamon or a splash of vanilla extract to enhance flavor.
• Use sugar-free sweeteners like erythritol or stevia to keep the brownies truly no sugar.
• If you prefer nuts, fold in chopped walnuts or pecans along with the chocolate chips.

Storage

Store cooled brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. To reheat, warm a piece briefly in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to regain softness.

Instructions

1. Prepare the Baking Pan and Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line an 8 x 8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring the paper extends slightly over the edges for easy removal later. Set the prepared pan aside.
2. Melt Chocolate and Combine Wet Ingredients: Place 1/2 cup chopped chocolate pieces in a microwave-safe bowl and melt in short bursts, stirring occasionally until smooth. Let it cool slightly for 1-2 minutes. Add 1 cup non-dairy Greek yogurt and 1/2 cup sweetener of choice to the melted chocolate and whisk until smooth and well combined.

4. Bake the Brownies: Transfer the batter to the lined baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out just clean, indicating they are fully baked.
5. Cool the Brownies: Remove the pan from the oven and allow the brownies to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Use the parchment paper overhang to carefully lift the brownies onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing into squares.
