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)
Additional
- ¼ cup sugar-free chocolate chips (plus more for topping, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat the 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 Greek yogurt, unsweetened applesauce, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add Dry Ingredients and Sweetener: Stir in your preferred zero-calorie sweetener, almond flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Mix gently until just combined to avoid overmixing.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Carefully fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips to distribute them evenly throughout the batter.
- Pour Batter and Add Toppings: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly. Optionally, sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top for added texture and appearance.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs, indicating fudgy brownies.
- Cool and Slice: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing. This ensures the best texture and clean cuts.
Notes
- For fudgier brownies, slightly underbake them and chill before serving to enhance texture.
- You can use flavored Greek yogurt (such as vanilla or chocolate) to boost flavor without adding sugar.
- Adjust sweetness according to your sweetener’s potency and personal taste preferences.
