Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup monk fruit sweetener
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup almond milk
  • 90 g dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch glass baking dish with nonstick spray and set aside.
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, monk fruit sweetener, baking powder, and salt until combined.
  3. Step 3: Add the Greek yogurt and almond milk to the dry ingredients. Mix just until fully incorporated, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be thick; add a splash more almond milk if it feels too dense.
  4. Step 4: Melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, adding a little coconut oil if needed for smoothness. Pour the melted chocolate into the batter and gently fold to combine.
  5. Step 5: Transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish. If desired, sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top for extra richness.
  6. Step 6: Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean. Allow to cool before cutting into squares and serving.

Tips & Variations

  • For a nutty twist, add chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter before baking.
  • Use flavored Greek yogurt like vanilla for a subtle sweetness variation.
  • Swap almond milk for oat or dairy milk if preferred.
  • If you like a fudgier texture, reduce baking time slightly and check frequently.

Storage

Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. Reheat briefly in the microwave for a soft, warm treat.
