Ingredients
  

Wet Ingredients
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup cane sugar or any other sugar
  • 3 tablespoons coconut oil melted, or any oil
  • 1 cup Vanilla Greek yogurt
  • 1/3 cup almond milk or 2% milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour or whole wheat
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
Add-ins
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips reserve about 2-3 tbsp to top the brownies

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Spatula
  • 9x9 inch baking pan
  • Parchment paper

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the eggs, cane sugar, vanilla extract, and coconut oil. Whisk until smooth and the sugar begins to dissolve.
  2. Add the Greek yogurt and almond milk to the bowl. Whisk again until the mixture is creamy and fully combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined and lump-free.
  4. Pour the dry ingredients into the bowl with the wet ingredients. Use a spatula to gently fold the batter together until no streaks remain.
  5. Fold in the dark chocolate chips, reserving a few tablespoons for topping. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
  6. Transfer the batter to a parchment-lined 9x9-inch baking pan and spread it out evenly. Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips on top.
  7. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Let the brownies cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

You can use plain or vanilla Greek yogurt; ensure it is thick. Coconut oil can be substituted with avocado oil or melted ghee. For sugar, coconut sugar, brown sugar, or a 1:1 monk fruit sweetener are good alternatives. Use whole wheat or a gluten-free 1:1 flour blend if preferred. Any unsweetened milk, such as oat, soy, or dairy, can replace almond milk. Adding 1/2 teaspoon of espresso powder can enhance the chocolate flavor.
