Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour or almond flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Optional Ingredients
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips or chopped nuts
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, cocoa powder, honey or maple syrup, melted coconut oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Add the whole wheat or almond flour, baking powder, and salt to the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined to avoid overmixing, which can toughen the brownies. Fold in any optional chocolate chips or nuts at this stage.
- Pour Batter into Pan: Pour the brownie batter evenly into the prepared baking pan, using a spatula to spread it out smoothly for even baking.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Notes
- You can substitute whole wheat flour with almond flour for a gluten-free option.
- Adjust sweetness by using either honey or maple syrup based on your preference.
- Including optional chocolate chips or nuts adds texture and extra flavor.
- Do not overbake to keep the brownies moist and fudgy.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
