  • Total Time: 30-33 minutes
  • Yield: 16 servings

Ingredients

Chocolate Mixture

  • 2/3 cup Sugar-Free Chocolate Chips (divided)
  • 1 teaspoon Coconut Oil

Wet Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup Plain Greek Yogurt
  • 1 large Egg
  • 1/4 cup Almond Milk (or soy milk, or any milk of choice)
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sweetener (sugar-free brown erythritol or coconut sugar or brown sugar)
  • 1/2 cup Oat Flour (or all-purpose flour, lightly packed, swept)
  • 1/2 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the brownies evenly.
  2. Prepare Pan: Line an 8-inch by 8-inch brownie pan with parchment paper and lightly oil it to prevent sticking, then set it aside.
  3. Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 1/3 cup of the chocolate chips together with the coconut oil. Allow the mixture to cool at room temperature for a few minutes.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the oat flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, granulated sweetener, baking powder, and salt. Set this dry mixture aside.
  5. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, egg, vanilla extract, almond milk, and the cooled melted chocolate mixture until smooth and well combined.
  6. Combine Wet and Dry: Sift the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and gently fold them together using a silicone spatula until just combined to avoid overmixing.
  7. Add Remaining Chocolate Chips: Stir in the remaining 1/3 cup of chocolate chips evenly into the batter for added texture and chocolate bursts.
  8. Pour Batter: Transfer the batter to the prepared brownie pan, spreading it evenly.
  9. Bake: Bake the brownies at 350°F (180°C) for 20-23 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, indicating they are fully baked.
  10. Cool and Serve: Cool the brownies immediately on a cooling rack for about an hour before slicing to allow them to set properly and makes cutting easier.

Notes

  • You can substitute oat flour with all-purpose flour if preferred.
  • Use any milk of choice such as soy milk or regular cow’s milk as a substitute for almond milk.
  • Adjust sweetness by choosing your preferred sweetener: sugar-free erythritol, coconut sugar, or brown sugar.
  • Ensure not to overmix the batter to keep brownies tender and moist.
  • Store cooled brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
