3. Step-by-Step Guide to Making Fudgy Greek Yogurt Brownies

Prepare Your Ingredients

Gather all your ingredients and preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray. Using a CAROTE Premium 16pc Nonstick Cookware Set will make lining and greasing your pan effortless.

Mix Wet Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, honey, melted coconut oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

Combine Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, sift together the whole wheat flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, folding gently until just combined. For a richer chocolate flavor, fold in some dark chocolate chips or chopped nuts if desired.

Bake the Brownies

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing out the top with a spatula. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Allow the brownies to cool before slicing for tidy pieces.
