Greek Yogurt Brownies Recipe

Introduction

These Greek Yogurt Brownies offer a rich, fudgy texture with a subtle tang from the yogurt, making them a delicious twist on a classic treat. They are easy to prepare and include options for dietary preferences.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup chocolate, chopped
• 1 cup vanilla yogurt (see notes)
• 1/2 cup sugar of choice (white, brown, sugar free, etc.)
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (gluten free if needed)
• 1/2 cup cocoa powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 cup milk of choice (unsweetened almond milk recommended)
• 1 cup chocolate chips of choice (optional)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
2. Step 2: Place the chopped chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Melt it in the microwave, then let it sit for 1-2 minutes. Stir in the yogurt and sugar until smooth, then transfer to a large mixing bowl.
3. Step 3: Add the flour, cocoa powder, and baking soda to the bowl. Mix until just combined. Pour in the milk and mix well until fully incorporated. Fold in chocolate chips if using.
4. Step 4: Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out just clean.
5. Step 5: Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Carefully transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before cutting.

Tips & Variations

• Use Greek yogurt for a thicker texture and tangy flavor; plain or flavored yogurts both work well.
• Swap all-purpose flour for gluten-free flour to make this recipe gluten-free.
• For a richer taste, use dark chocolate and dark cocoa powder.
• Add nuts or dried fruit to the batter for extra texture and flavor.

Storage

Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week. Reheat briefly in the microwave for a soft, warm treat.

FAQs

Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?

Yes, but using Greek yogurt will provide a thicker, creamier texture and a slight tang that complements the chocolate well.

Are these brownies gluten-free?

The original recipe uses all-purpose flour, but you can substitute gluten-free flour to make them gluten-free without compromising texture.

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line an 8 x 8-inch baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the brownies.
2. Melt Chocolate and Combine Wet Ingredients: Place the chopped chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and melt it using short bursts of microwave power, stirring until smooth. Let it sit for 1-2 minutes. Then, add the vanilla yogurt and sugar to the melted chocolate and whisk everything together until smooth and fully combined. Transfer this mixture to a large mixing bowl.
3. Add Dry Ingredients: Add the all purpose flour, cocoa powder, and baking soda to the wet mixture. Mix gently until just combined to avoid overmixing which can toughen the brownies.
4. Incorporate Milk and Chocolate Chips: Pour in the milk of choice and mix well until the batter is smooth and fully incorporated. Fold in chocolate chips if using, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
5. Bake the Brownies: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out just clean, indicating doneness.
6. Cool: Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully transfer the brownies to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Notes

• Use vanilla yogurt for a subtle sweetness and moisture; plain yogurt can be substituted but may alter flavor slightly.
• Choose any sugar you prefer — white, brown, or sugar-free alternatives work well.
• For a gluten-free version, substitute with a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend.
• The milk can be dairy or non-dairy according to preference or dietary needs.
• Adding chocolate chips is optional but enhances texture and chocolate richness.
