Ingredients

Units Scale

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or oat flour for gluten-free)
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 to 1/3 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/4 to 1/3 cup chopped walnuts, almonds, or pecans (toasted if preferred)
  • Pinch of instant coffee or espresso powder
  • Nut butter for swirling
  • Sea salt for sprinkling on top

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring easy removal and minimal cleanup.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda until evenly combined.
  3. Combine the Wet Ingredients In a separate bowl, whisk the non-fat Greek yogurt, maple syrup or honey, egg, and vanilla extract together until smooth and fully blended.
  4. Incorporate Dry Into Wet Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the brownies tender.
  5. Fold in the Chocolate Chips If using, fold in the chocolate chips to create melty pockets of rich flavor throughout the batter.
  6. Transfer to Pan and Bake Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth out evenly. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few slightly damp crumbs.
  7. Cool and Slice Let the brownies cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, slice into 9 squares and serve.

Notes

  • Use parchment paper in the baking pan for easy removal and minimal cleanup.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep brownies tender.
  • Let brownies cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
