Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
- ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- â…“ cup almond flour
- â…“ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- Your favorite zero-calorie sweetener equivalent to ½ cup sugar (e.g., stevia, erythritol, or monk fruit)
Add-ins
- ¼ cup sugar-free chocolate chips (plus more for topping, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the plain Greek yogurt, unsweetened applesauce, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add sweetener and dry ingredients: Stir in your chosen zero-calorie sweetener, almond flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Mix gently until just combined to avoid overworking the batter.
- Fold in chocolate chips: Carefully fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Prepare for baking: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. If desired, sprinkle additional sugar-free chocolate chips on top for extra chocolatey goodness.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center—it should come out with a few moist crumbs but not wet batter.
- Cool and serve: Remove from the oven and allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing. This resting time helps achieve the best texture.
Notes
- For fudgier brownies, slightly underbake them and chill in the refrigerator before serving.
- Use flavored Greek yogurt like vanilla or chocolate to enhance the flavor without adding sugar.
- Adjust the amount and type of sweetener based on your preference and the sweetness level of your chosen sweetener.
