Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
- ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- ⅓ cup almond flour
- ⅓ 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) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the plain Greek yogurt, unsweetened applesauce, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Stir in the zero-calorie sweetener, almond flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Mix until just combined to avoid overworking the batter, which can affect texture.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips gently into the batter. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
- Add Topping: Sprinkle additional sugar-free chocolate chips on top if desired to enhance chocolate flavor and texture.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Avoid overbaking for the best fudgy texture.
- Cool and Slice: Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before slicing to ensure they firm up properly for clean cuts and optimal texture.
Notes
- For fudgier brownies, bake slightly less than the recommended time and chill before serving.
- You can use flavored Greek yogurt (like vanilla or chocolate) to enhance sweetness and richness without added sugar.
- Adjust the amount of your zero-calorie sweetener to taste, depending on its sweetness intensity.
