Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Batter
- 1 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup zero-calorie granulated sweetener suitable for baking
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup oat flour or finely ground oats
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Optional
- 1/4 cup sugar-free chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the plain nonfat Greek yogurt, eggs, zero-calorie granulated sweetener, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Sift in the unsweetened cocoa powder, oat flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir gently until the batter is fully combined and no dry spots remain, ensuring an even texture.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: If using, fold the sugar-free chocolate chips into the batter for added richness and texture.
- Bake: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 22 to 26 minutes, or until the brownies are set in the center and a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean.
- Cool Before Serving: Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan. Cooling helps set the brownies and improves the texture before slicing into 9 squares.
Notes
- For fudgier brownies, slightly underbake by removing them closer to 22 minutes and allow them to set while cooling.
- Store leftover brownies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days to retain freshness.
- These brownies have a mild sweetness; feel free to adjust the amount or type of sweetener based on personal preference.
