Greek Yogurt Brownies with Chocolate Chips offer a healthier take on the classic fudgy brownie by incorporating protein-rich Greek yogurt. These brownies are moist, dense, and chewy with bursts of melted chocolate chips, making them a perfect guilt-conscious indulgence that’s easy to bake and versatile for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free option)
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup melted butter or oil
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 3/4 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips (plus extra for topping)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oven and Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a square baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal and cleanup.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, blend melted butter or oil with sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time, followed by the Greek yogurt and vanilla extract, ensuring a creamy and even mixture.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt. This helps evenly distribute the leavening and intensify the chocolate flavor throughout the brownies.
  4. Bring It All Together: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently just until combined to keep the brownies tender. Avoid overmixing to prevent toughness.
  5. Add Chocolate Chips: Stir in your chocolate chips, saving a few to sprinkle on top for an extra tempting finish.
  6. Bake and Cool: Pour the batter into your prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let the brownies cool completely before cutting.

Notes

  • Use eggs and Greek yogurt at room temperature for better batter consistency and even baking.
  • Do not overmix the batter to ensure a soft, fudgy texture instead of cakey brownies.
  • Opt for high-quality cocoa powder, preferably Dutch-processed, to enhance chocolate richness.
  • Watch the baking time carefully; remove brownies when moist crumbs remain on the toothpick for perfect chewiness.
  • Let brownies cool completely to solidify texture and improve slicing and flavor.
