Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- ¾ cup honey or pure maple syrup (for sweetness)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ cup whole spelt flour or almond flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- Optional: dark chocolate chips or chopped nuts for toppings
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix well until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
- If desired, fold in dark chocolate chips or sprinkle them on top of the batter. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- For added flavor, include dark chocolate chips or chopped nuts on top before baking.
- These brownies store well in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days or chilled for up to 7 days. Freeze for longer storage up to 3 months.
- You can replace Greek yogurt with applesauce for a dairy-free variation, but it may slightly change the texture.
