Ingredients
(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
1 cup Greek yogurt
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/2 cup powdered erythritol or preferred sugar-free sweetener
2 large eggs
1/3 cup almond flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Optional:
sugar-free chocolate chips
Directions
I start by preheating the oven to 180°C (350°F) and lining a baking pan with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, I combine the Greek yogurt, eggs, sweetener, and vanilla extract until smooth. Then I add cocoa powder, almond flour, baking powder, and salt, mixing until I get a thick, well-combined batter.
If I want extra texture, I fold in some sugar-free chocolate chips. I pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
I bake the brownies for about 20–25 minutes, then let them cool completely before slicing.
Servings and timing
I usually get about 9 squares from this recipe.
Preparation time takes around 10 minutes, and baking time is 20–25 minutes.
Variations
I sometimes add chopped nuts for a crunchy texture. When I want a deeper flavor, I mix in a bit of instant coffee powder. I also like adding a swirl of peanut butter on top before baking.
storage/reheating
I store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. To reheat, I warm them slightly in the microwave for a softer texture.
