Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Batter
- 1 cup Greek Yogurt (can substitute firm soy or coconut yogurt for dairy-free)
- 1 Egg (essential for maintaining brownie texture)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 1/3 cup Granular Sweetener (Erythritol; can swap with stevia or monk fruit for lower-carb)
- 1 tsp Coffee Powder (enhances chocolate flavor)
- 1 pinch Salt (balances sweetness)
Topping (Optional)
- 1/2 cup Chocolate Chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and prepare a 7×7 inch brownie pan by lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal.
- Mix Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, egg, cocoa powder, erythritol, coffee powder, and salt. Stir gently until you achieve a smooth and uniform batter, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Pour and Top: Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly to ensure consistent baking. Optionally, sprinkle chocolate chips on top for extra sweetness and texture.
- Bake: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 22 to 30 minutes. Begin checking for doneness around 25 minutes by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs, but not wet batter.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool completely at room temperature before slicing to ensure clean cuts and the best texture.
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, substitute Greek yogurt with firm soy or coconut yogurt.
- Using coffee powder intensifies the chocolate flavor but can be omitted if desired.
- Sweetener can be adjusted based on dietary preferences; erythritol, stevia, or monk fruit work well for low-carb requirements.
- Ensure not to overbake for fudgier brownies; start checking earlier if your oven runs hot.
- Brownies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
