Description
Rich, fudgy, and guilt-free — these Flourless Greek Yogurt Brownies are a healthy twist on a classic treat. Made with protein-packed Greek yogurt and no flour, they’re gluten-free, low in sugar, and incredibly easy to make. Perfect for clean eating, low-carb diets, or just a better-for-you dessert option!
Ingredients
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2% for best texture)
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ cup natural sweetener (maple syrup, honey, or erythritol)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- Pinch of salt
- Optional: ¼ cup dark chocolate chips, chopped walnuts, or peanut butter swirl
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease or line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, eggs, vanilla extract, and sweetener until smooth.
In a separate bowl, sift the cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt to remove any lumps.
Combine the dry ingredients with the wet mixture. Stir until just mixed — don’t overmix!
(Optional) Fold in chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or swirl in peanut butter for extra flavor.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake for 22–25 minutes, or until the center is just set and a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter).
Cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares. The brownies will firm up as they cool.
Enjoy! Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
Notes
- For a sweeter brownie, add 1–2 tablespoons of extra sweetener or a few stevia drops.
- Want them extra fudgy? Add 1 tablespoon of nut butter or a splash of brewed coffee to the batter.
- To make this recipe dairy-free, use coconut or almond-based yogurt.
- For a vegan version, substitute eggs with flax eggs (1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 2.5 tbsp water per egg).
- These brownies are even better after chilling — try refrigerating them for a few hours for a firmer, chewier texture.
- If adding chocolate chips or nuts, lightly toss them in cocoa powder before mixing to prevent sinking.
