Greek Yogurt Brownies Recipe
The Greek Yogurt Brownies Recipe is rich, soft and full of chocolate flavor. It is a healthier twist on classic brownies.
Ingredients
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup melted butter
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper. This helps remove brownies easily after baking.
Mix Wet Ingredients
- In a large bowl, add Greek yogurt, granulated sugar, brown sugar and melted butter. Whisk until smooth and creamy. Add eggs and vanilla extract. Mix well.
Combine Dry Ingredients
- In another bowl, add cocoa powder, flour, baking soda and salt. Stir well to combine. This ensures even mixing later.
Mix Wet and Dry
- Slowly add dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stir gently using a spatula. Do not overmix. The batter should look thick and smooth.
Add Chocolate Chips
- Fold in dark chocolate chips. Mix gently so chips spread evenly. This gives extra chocolate flavor in every bite.
Pour into Pan
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan. Spread evenly with a spatula. Make sure the top is smooth.
Bake the Brownies
- Place the pan in the oven. Bake at 350°F for 22 to 25 minutes. Insert a toothpick in the center. It should come out slightly moist.
Cool Before Cutting
- Remove from oven carefully. Let brownies cool for at least 20 minutes. This helps them set properly. Cut into squares before serving.
Notes
- Do not overbake. Brownies should stay slightly moist.
- Use room temperature eggs for better mixing.
- Add nuts for extra crunch.
- Use high-quality cocoa powder for rich flavor.
- Let brownies cool fully before slicing.
