Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (preferably plain and full-fat for richness)
- 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup (for natural sweetness)
- 1/4 cup coconut oil or melted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Optional: dark chocolate chips or chopped nuts for added texture
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, honey, melted coconut oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, sift together whole wheat flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold this dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined. Add chocolate chips or nuts if using.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading evenly with a spatula.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Let the brownies cool in the pan, then cut into squares and serve.
Notes
- Optional dark chocolate chips or chopped nuts can enhance texture and flavor.
- For best results, use full-fat Greek yogurt for richer brownies.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely before slicing to ensure clean cuts.
