Easy Zero Sugar Brownies with Greek Yogurt Recipe

Introduction

These easy zero sugar brownies are a delightful treat made with Greek yogurt for extra moisture and protein. Perfect for anyone looking to enjoy rich chocolate flavor without added sugar, they’re both simple and satisfying.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup chopped chocolate pieces
• 1 cup non-dairy Greek yogurt
• 1/2 cup sweetener of choice (sugar-free, white or brown sugar)
• 3/4 cup regular or gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup cocoa powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 cup preferred milk (like unsweetened almond milk)
• 1 cup optional chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line an 8 x 8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal, and set aside.
2. Step 2: Place the chopped chocolate pieces in a microwave-safe bowl. Melt in the microwave in short bursts, stirring occasionally until smooth. Let cool for 1-2 minutes, then whisk in the Greek yogurt and sweetener until well combined. Transfer this mixture to a large mixing bowl.
3. Step 3: Add the flour, cocoa powder, and baking soda to the chocolate mixture. Stir gently until just combined to avoid overmixing. Pour in the milk and mix until the batter is smooth. Fold in the optional chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter.
4. Step 4: Spread the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
5. Step 5: Remove the brownies from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Carefully lift them out using the parchment paper and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

FAQs

Can I use regular Greek yogurt instead of non-dairy?

Yes, regular Greek yogurt works well too, but it will add dairy to the recipe. The texture and moisture level will remain similar.

Are these brownies truly sugar-free?

They can be, depending on the sweetener you choose. Opt for a sugar-free sweetener to keep the brownies free of added sugars while retaining sweetness.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Chocolate Mixture

• 1/2 cup chopped chocolate pieces
• 1 cup non-dairy Greek yogurt
• 1/2 cup sweetener of choice (sugar-free, white or brown sugar)

Dry Ingredients

• 3/4 cup regular or gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup cocoa powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Additional Ingredients

• 1/2 cup preferred milk (like unsweetened almond milk)
• 1 cup optional chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Prepare the Baking Pan and Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line an 8 x 8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring the paper extends slightly over the edges for easy removal later. Set the prepared pan aside.
2. Melt Chocolate and Combine Wet Ingredients: Place the 1/2 cup chopped chocolate pieces in a microwave-safe bowl. Melt the chocolate in the microwave in short bursts, stirring occasionally until smooth. Let it cool slightly for 1-2 minutes. Then add the non-dairy Greek yogurt and sweetener to the melted chocolate. Whisk the mixture until smooth and well combined. Transfer this chocolate mixture to a large mixing bowl.
3. Mix Dry Ingredients and Combine with Wet Ingredients: Add the flour, cocoa powder, and baking soda to the chocolate mixture. Stir until just combined without overmixing. Pour in the preferred milk and mix well until the batter is fully incorporated. If using, fold in the optional chocolate chips gently so they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
4. Bake the Brownies: Transfer the batter to the lined baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula if needed. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, checking doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out just clean.
5. Cool the Brownies: Remove the pan from the oven and allow the brownies to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Use the parchment paper edges to lift the brownies out of the pan and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before cutting into squares. Enjoy!
