# Ingredients:
→ The Dry Essentials
01 -
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
02 -
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
03 -
1/2 tsp baking powder
04 -
1/4 tsp salt
→ The Moist & Sweet Core
05 -
1/2 cup plain 2% Greek yogurt
06 -
2 large eggs
07 -
3/4 cup granulated zero-calorie sweetener (e.g., erythritol blend)
08 -
1/8 cup melted unsalted butter
09 -
1/8 cup neutral oil (such as canola or vegetable)
10 -
1 tsp vanilla extract
→ Chocolatey Depth & Texture
11 -
3/4 cup sugar-free chocolate chips
12 -
1/2 tsp instant espresso powder (optional, for enhanced chocolate flavor)
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy removal. This ensures your Easy Zero Sugar Brownies with Greek Yogurt won't stick and are simple to lift out.
02 -
In a medium bowl, whisk together 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp instant espresso powder (if using). Set aside.
03 -
In a large bowl, combine 1/2 cup plain 2% Greek yogurt, 2 large eggs, 3/4 cup granulated zero-calorie sweetener, 1/8 cup melted unsalted butter, 1/8 cup neutral oil, and 1 tsp vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
04 -
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients. Mix with a spatula until just combined and no streaks of flour remain. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tough Easy Zero Sugar Brownies with Greek Yogurt.
05 -
Gently fold in 3/4 cup sugar-free chocolate chips into the brownie batter. Distribute them evenly throughout the mixture. This adds a delightful texture and extra chocolatey depth to your brownies.
06 -
Pour the batter into the prepared 8x8 inch baking pan and spread evenly. Bake for 28-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs, not wet batter.
07 -
Let the Easy Zero Sugar Brownies with Greek Yogurt cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting out using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into 12 squares and serve. Cooling fully ensures clean cuts and a fudgier texture.
# Notes:
01 -
For a richer flavor, you can substitute the neutral oil with an equal amount of melted unsalted butter, making the total butter 1/4 cup.
02 -
Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. They also freeze well for up to 2 months.
03 -
These brownies are delicious on their own, but also pair wonderfully with a dollop of sugar-free whipped cream or a scoop of your favorite low-sugar ice cream.
04 -
Do not overbake! Overbaking will result in dry brownies. The center should still look slightly moist when you remove them from the oven, as they will continue to set as they cool.
