Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 2/3 cup granulated erythritol (or preferred zero‑calorie sweetener)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup plain non‑fat Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup all‑purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 cup sugar‑free chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8‑inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter and erythritol until well combined.
- Add eggs one at a time, whisking after each. Stir in vanilla extract.
- Fold in Greek yogurt until smooth.
- Sift in cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder; gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in sugar‑free chocolate chips if using.
- Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
- Slice into 16 squares and serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- For best texture, use a sweetener that measures like sugar (erythritol or monk fruit blend).
- Brownies will be denser than traditional ones due to Greek yogurt; they are fudgy rather than cakey.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
- Nutrition values are estimated and may vary based on brand of sweetener and yogurt.
