Ingredients
Wet Mixture
- 1/2 cup sweetener (sugar substitute)
- 1/2 cup chopped chocolate (60% cacao, roughly chopped)
- 1/2 cup milk
- Greek yogurt (quantity not specified in the original, typically 1/2 cup)
Dry Ingredients & Additions
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 cup chocolate chips (for texture variation)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line an 8 x 8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, making sure the paper extends over the edges for easy removal later. Set the pan aside.
- Melt Chocolate and Combine Wet Ingredients: Place the chopped chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in short bursts, stirring until smooth. Allow to cool for 1-2 minutes, then add Greek yogurt and sweetener. Whisk together until smooth and well combined. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Add the flour, cocoa powder, and baking soda to the chocolate mixture. Stir gently until just combined to avoid overmixing.
- Incorporate Milk and Chocolate Chips: Pour in the milk and mix until fully incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chips gently to distribute evenly throughout the batter.
- Transfer Batter and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out mostly clean.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Use the parchment paper to lift the brownies out and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before cutting into squares and serving.
Notes
- Use parchment paper overhang for easy removal and cleaner cutting.
- Do not overmix the batter to maintain fudgy texture.
- The choice of sweetener can be adjusted based on dietary preferences.
- Allowing brownies to cool completely helps them set and improves texture.
- Using 60% cacao chocolate ensures balanced bitterness and richness without too much sweetness.
