How to Make Flourless Greek Yogurt Brownies

Ready to bake some brownies that will have everyone asking for seconds? Let’s get to it! Grab your apron and let’s get started on this delicious journey.

Ingredients:

180 grams (¾ cup) Greek yogurt
1 egg
60 grams (½ cup) cocoa powder
80 grams (⅓ cup + 1 tbsp) granular sweetener (erythritol)
½ tsp coffee powder
⅙ tsp salt
Optional: chocolate chips for extra gooeyness on top

Directions:

Here’s how to create your very own Flourless Greek Yogurt Brownies – no fuss, just fun!

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Get yourself a 15 cm x 15 cm (7 inch x 7 inch) brownie pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and egg. This is your base; mix them well until they’re fully blended.
Next, add in the cocoa powder, granular sweetener, coffee powder, and salt. Stir everything together until you have a smooth brownie batter. You want it to be velvety and rich!
Pour the brownie batter into your prepared pan, don’t be shy, scrape every last bit out with a spatula! If you’re feeling extra decadent, sprinkle some chocolate chips on top for that melty bonus.
Bake in your preheated oven for about 22 to 30 minutes. Mine took 25 minutes, but keep an eye on them. You want the edges to look set and the center slightly gooey.
Once baked, let the brownies cool completely at room temperature before slicing. Trust me; patience will pay off!
Lastly, store any leftovers (if there are any!) in the fridge for up to four days. They’ll stay fresh and delicious!

How to Serve Flourless Greek Yogurt Brownies

Now that your brownies are ready and waiting, how do you serve them? There are loads of ideas to elevate this treat. Slice them into squares and serve warm for a melty, gooey experience. Pair them with a scoop of ice cream for a dessert that’s truly over the top! If you’re feeling fancy, drizzle some chocolate or caramel sauce on top, or garnish with fresh fruits for a pop of color and taste. No matter how you serve it, one thing is for sure: it will impress anyone lucky enough to enjoy a bite!

How to Store Flourless Greek Yogurt Brownies

Got some leftovers? Here’s how to keep them fresh! After they’ve cooled to room temperature, store your brownies in an airtight container in the fridge. They’re best eaten within four days, but trust me, they’re so yummy that you might not have any left by then! If you really want to save these decadent bites, you can also freeze them. After cutting, wrap each piece tightly in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer-safe bag. They can last up to three months in the freezer. Just thaw them in the fridge overnight before indulging!

Tips to Make Flourless Greek Yogurt Brownies

If you want to ensure your brownies turn out fabulously every time, here are a few tips:

Quality Ingredients: Use good quality cocoa powder – it makes a world of difference in flavor.
Room Temperature Ingredients: Make sure your Greek yogurt and egg are at room temperature to help them blend better.
Don’t Over Mix: Once all ingredients are combined, mix until smooth but don’t overdo it, we want those fudgy brownies, not cake-like.
Check for Doneness: Ovens can vary, so keep an eye on your brownies. Poke a toothpick in the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs, not wet batter.

Variations

Feel free to get creative with these brownies! Add in chopped nuts, such as walnuts or pecans, for a crunchy twist. You can also switch up the flavors by adding vanilla or almond extract for a different aroma. Craving something a bit fruity? Fold in some berries before baking for a refreshing burst. The possibilities are endless!

FAQs

Q1: Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?
A1: While you can use regular yogurt, it won’t give the same texture and richness. Greek yogurt is thicker and creamier, which contributes to that fudgy brownie consistency.

Q2: Can I substitute the sweetener for sugar?
A2: Yes, you can! If you’re not concerned about keeping it low sugar, feel free to use regular sugar instead of the granular sweetener in the same amount.

Q3: How do I know when my brownies are done?
A3: Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center. If it comes out with a few moist crumbs, they’re perfect. If it’s wet, give them a little more time in the oven.

Baking is all about joy, love, and a little bit of experimentation! I hope you enjoy making these Flourless Greek Yogurt Brownies as much as I do. Happy baking, my sweet friends! 🥳🍫
