Healthy Flourless Greek Yogurt Brownies – Fudgy, Rich & Guilt-Free
Ultra-fudgy flourless brownies made with Greek yogurt and cocoa powder. Rich, chocolatey, and lighter than traditional brownies, yet just as satisfying.
Ingredients
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt full-fat or low-fat
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ cup sugar or coconut sugar
- ¼ cup almond butter or peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- Pinch of salt
- Optional: dark chocolate chips or melted dark chocolate for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, eggs, nut butter, sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
- Add cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix gently until just combined and no dry pockets remain.
- Fold in chocolate chips if using.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top evenly.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, until the edges are set and the center is slightly soft.
- Allow brownies to cool completely before slicing for the best fudgy texture.
- Drizzle with melted dark chocolate if desired before serving.
Notes
Tips
- For the fudgiest brownies, remove them from the oven while the center still looks slightly underbaked.
- Full-fat Greek yogurt gives the richest texture, but low-fat works well too.
- Sift the cocoa powder to avoid lumps in the batter.
Variations
- Protein Boost: Add 1 scoop chocolate protein powder and 2 tablespoons extra yogurt.
- Peanut Butter Swirl: Swirl extra nut butter on top before baking.
- Extra Chocolate: Add chopped dark chocolate to the batter.
- Lower Sugar: Use monk fruit sweetener or a sugar alternative suitable for baking.
Storage
- Room Temperature: Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days
