Description

Greek Yogurt Brownies with Chocolate Chips offer a healthier twist on classic brownies by incorporating protein-rich Greek yogurt for a moist, fudgy texture and rich chocolate flavor. These brownies are quick to prepare, use simple ingredients, and deliver deep chocolate satisfaction with gooey chocolate chip pockets.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup full-fat Greek yogurt

Add-ins

  • 3/4 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark recommended)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare your baking pan: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. Mix the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt to ensure even distribution and prevent clumping.
  3. Cream the butter and sugar: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with the granulated sugar until light and fluffy, introducing air for a lighter texture.
  4. Add wet ingredients: Mix in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract and Greek yogurt. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  5. Combine wet and dry: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet batter, being careful not to overmix to keep the brownies tender.
  6. Fold in chocolate chips: Gently stir in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed for gooey chocolate spots throughout.
  7. Bake and cool: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs. Allow the brownies to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Use full-fat Greek yogurt for the moistest, richest brownies.
  • Do not overmix the batter to maintain tenderness.
  • Measure cocoa powder carefully to avoid bitterness or dryness.
  • Allow brownies to cool fully for easier slicing and better flavor.
  • Use semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips for optimal richness and contrast.
