Ingredients
Scale
Wet 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)
- 1/2 cup preferred milk (like unsweetened almond milk)
Dry Ingredients
- 3/4 cup regular or gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Optional
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- 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.
- 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. Transfer this mixture to a large mixing bowl.
- Mix Dry Ingredients and Combine with Wet Ingredients: Add 3/4 cup regular or gluten-free all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup cocoa powder, and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda to the chocolate mixture. Stir until just combined to avoid overmixing. Pour in 1/2 cup preferred milk and mix well until fully incorporated. If using, fold in 1 cup chocolate chips gently to distribute evenly.
- 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.
- 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.
Notes
- Use non-dairy Greek yogurt to keep the recipe dairy-free and maintain a moist texture.
- Choose your favorite sugar-free sweetener or use white/brown sugar depending on dietary preference.
- To make gluten-free brownies, ensure the all-purpose flour used is certified gluten-free.
- Chocolate chips are optional but add extra texture and chocolate flavor.
- Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense brownies.
- Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
