Directions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.

Storage/Reheating

These Greek Yogurt Brownies store well at room temperature for up to 3 days in an airtight container. For longer storage, keep them in the fridge for up to a week.

FAQs

1. Can I use a different type of yogurt for these brownies?

Yes, you can use any flavor of yogurt that suits your taste. However, vanilla yogurt works best as it complements the chocolate flavor.

2. Are these brownies gluten-free?

You can easily make them gluten-free by substituting the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.

3. What type of chocolate should I use?

You can use any chocolate you prefer. Dark chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate works great for a rich flavor, but milk chocolate is an option if you prefer a sweeter taste.

4. Can I make these brownies dairy-free?

Yes! Use a non-dairy yogurt (like almond milk yogurt) and substitute the milk with a plant-based option such as almond or oat milk.

5. How do I know when the brownies are done baking?

Insert a skewer or toothpick into the center of the brownies. If it comes out with just a few moist crumbs, they are done. If it’s still wet with batter, continue baking for a few more minutes.

6. Can I use a different sweetener in this recipe?

Yes! You can substitute the sugar with your preferred sweetener, such as stevia, monk fruit, or honey. Just adjust the amount based on the sweetness level of your sweetener.

7. How can I make these brownies more fudgy?

To make the brownies more fudgy, try adding an extra tablespoon of yogurt or reducing the baking time slightly.

8. Can I freeze these brownies?

Yes! These brownies freeze well. After they’ve cooled, wrap them in plastic wrap or place them in an airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months. When ready to eat, thaw at room temperature.

9. Can I make these brownies with a different flour?

Yes, you can substitute the all-purpose flour with almond flour, oat flour, or another flour of your choice. Just be mindful that texture and baking times may change.

10. What can I serve these brownies with?

These brownies are great on their own, but they pair wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a dollop of whipped cream, or fresh berries for an extra indulgent treat.

These Greek Yogurt Brownies are the perfect guilt-free dessert for chocolate lovers.
