01 -
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
02 -
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
03 -
1 cup granulated erythritol/monk fruit blend
04 -
1 tsp baking powder
05 -
1/4 tsp fine sea salt

1/2 tsp instant espresso powder
→ Moisture & Richness Boosters
07 -
2 large eggs
08 -
1 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
09 -
1/4 cup avocado oil
10 -
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
→ Decadent Swirl & Finish
11 -
1/2 cup sugar-free chocolate chips
12 -
Pinch of flaky sea salt, for garnish
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring an overhang on two sides for easy removal. Lightly grease any exposed pan sides to prevent sticking.
02 -
In a large bowl, whisk together 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 cup granulated erythritol/monk fruit blend, 1 tsp baking powder, 1/4 tsp fine sea salt, and 1/2 tsp instant espresso powder. This forms the fudgy foundation for your Healthy & Delicious Low Calorie Greek Yogurt Brownies.
03 -
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt, 1/4 cup avocado oil, and 1 tsp pure vanilla extract until smooth and well combined. This blend adds incredible moisture and richness.
04 -
Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined, being careful not to overmix. A few streaks of flour are acceptable for tender Healthy & Delicious Low Calorie Greek Yogurt Brownies.
05 -
Gently fold in 1/2 cup sugar-free chocolate chips into the brownie batter. You can reserve a few chips to sprinkle on top before baking for an extra decadent look and texture.
06 -
Pour the batter into the prepared 8x8 inch pan, spreading evenly. Bake for 28-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs, not wet batter. Avoid overbaking for the fudgiest Healthy & Delicious Low Calorie Greek Yogurt Brownies.
07 -
Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting out using the parchment paper overhang. Garnish with a pinch of flaky sea salt before slicing into 12 squares and serving.
# Notes:
01 -
For a richer chocolate flavor, don't skip the instant espresso powder; it enhances the cocoa without adding a coffee taste.
02 -
Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days, or refrigerate for up to a week for extended freshness.
03 -
Feel free to experiment with other sugar-free mix-ins like chopped nuts or a swirl of sugar-free peanut butter before baking.
04 -
These brownies are delicious on their own, but for an extra treat, serve them with a dollop of plain Greek yogurt or a scoop of sugar-free vanilla ice cream.
