# Ingredients:
→ The Fudgy Foundation
01 -
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
02 -
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
03 -
1 cup zero-calorie granulated sweetener (such as erythritol blend)
04 -
1/2 tsp baking powder
05 -
1/4 tsp sea salt
→ Moisture & Bind
06 -
1/2 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
07 -
2 large eggs
08 -
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
→ Flavor Boosters & Swirl
09 -
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
10 -
1/2 tsp espresso powder (optional, enhances chocolate flavor)
11 -
1/2 cup sugar-free chocolate chips
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease and flour an 8x8 inch baking pan, or line with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy removal. This ensures your Easy Zero Sugar Brownies with Greek Yogurt won't stick.
02 -
In a large bowl, whisk together 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 cup zero-calorie granulated sweetener, 1/2 tsp baking powder, and 1/4 tsp sea salt. Set aside.
03 -
In a separate medium bowl, whisk 1/2 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt, 2 large eggs, 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted), 1 tsp pure vanilla extract, and the optional 1/2 tsp espresso powder until well combined and smooth.
04 -
Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tough brownies. The batter for these Easy Zero Sugar Brownies with Greek Yogurt will be thick.
05 -
Gently fold in 1/2 cup sugar-free chocolate chips into the brownie batter. Pour the mixture evenly into your prepared 8x8 inch baking pan. You can sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top if desired for presentation.
06 -
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs, but not wet batter. Avoid overbaking to keep your Easy Zero Sugar Brownies with Greek Yogurt fudgy.
07 -
Remove the pan from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing. This allows them to set properly and ensures clean cuts. Patience is key for perfect fudgy texture!
# Notes:
01 -
For an extra fudgy texture, slightly underbake your brownies. The residual heat in the pan will continue to cook them as they cool.
02 -
Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week. They also freeze well for longer storage.
03 -
If you don't have erythritol blend, you can use another granulated zero-calorie sweetener, adjusting the quantity according to its sweetness equivalent. For a richer flavor, use full-fat Greek yogurt.
04 -
Serve these delicious zero-sugar brownies warm with a scoop of sugar-free vanilla ice cream or a dollop of sugar-free whipped cream for a guilt-free dessert.
