Easy Zero Sugar Brownies with Greek Yogurt Recipe

Introduction

These easy zero sugar brownies are moist, chocolatey, and made with Greek yogurt for extra richness and a silky texture. Perfect for anyone looking to enjoy a guilt-free treat without compromising on flavor.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup sweetener (sugar-free, white or brown sugar)
• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat for richness)
• 1/2 cup chopped chocolate (60% cacao bars, roughly chopped)
• 1 cup chocolate chips (optional for texture variation)
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 cup milk (such as unsweetened almond milk)
• 1/2 cup cocoa powder (unsweetened)
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (regular or gluten-free)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line an 8 x 8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, letting it extend over the edges for easy removal. Set the pan aside.
2. Step 2: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chopped chocolate in short bursts, stirring until smooth. Let it cool slightly for 1-2 minutes, then whisk in the Greek yogurt and sweetener until smooth. Transfer this mixture to a large mixing bowl.
3. Step 3: Add the flour, cocoa powder, and baking soda to the chocolate mixture and stir until just combined. Pour in the milk and mix well to incorporate. If using, fold in the chocolate chips gently.
4. Step 4: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
5. Step 5: Let the brownies cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Use the parchment paper overhang to lift them out and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before cutting into squares.

Tips & Variations

• Use full-fat Greek yogurt for a richer texture; low-fat versions may result in a drier brownie.
• Swap the chocolate chips with chopped nuts for added crunch.
• For a vegan option, use non-dairy Greek-style yogurt and plant-based milk.
• Ensure not to overmix the batter to keep your brownies tender and fudgy.

Storage

Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week. Reheat gently in the microwave for a few seconds to soften before serving.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Wet Mixture:

• 1/2 cup sweetener (sugar-free, white or brown sugar alternative)
• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat for richness)
• 1/2 cup chopped chocolate (60% cacao)

Dry Ingredients and Additions:

• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (regular or gluten-free)
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 cup milk (preferred type, e.g., unsweetened almond milk)
• 1 cup chocolate chips (optional, for texture variation)

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, making sure the paper extends over the edges for easy removal later. Set the pan aside for now.
2. Melt Chocolate and Combine Wet Ingredients: Place the 1/2 cup chopped chocolate into a microwave-safe bowl. Melt it in short bursts, stirring frequently until smooth. Allow it to cool for 1-2 minutes. Then add the Greek yogurt and sweetener to the melted chocolate, whisking until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Transfer this mixture to a large bowl.
3. Mix Dry Ingredients and Combine with Wet Ingredients: Add the flour, cocoa powder, and baking soda into the chocolate-yogurt mixture. Stir gently until just combined to avoid overmixing. Pour in the milk and mix well until the batter is fully incorporated. If using, fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter.
4. Bake the Brownies: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
5. Cool the Brownies: Remove the pan from the oven and let the brownies cool for about 10 minutes in the pan. Then lift the brownies using the parchment paper overhang and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing into squares.

Notes

• Using full-fat Greek yogurt ensures richness and moisture balance in the brownies.
• Chocolate chips are optional but add nice texture contrast.
• The sweetener should be a zero-sugar or sugar-free variety to keep the recipe truly zero sugar.
• Do not overmix the batter to keep the brownies tender and fudgy.
• Cool completely before cutting to prevent crumbly edges.
