Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened Greek yogurt (preferably full-fat or 2%)
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/4 cup almond butter (or peanut butter)
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup almond flour (or whole wheat flour)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional, for added warmth)
Optional Add-ins
- 1/4 cup chopped dark chocolate or sugar-free chocolate chips (optional for extra richness)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, mashed bananas, almond butter, and melted coconut oil. Stir until smooth and well combined to create a cohesive wet base.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Add the unsweetened cocoa powder, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using) to the wet mixture. Mix until all the dry ingredients are incorporated and the batter is smooth and even.
- Fold in Chocolate: Gently fold in the chopped dark chocolate or sugar-free chocolate chips, if desired, for an extra chocolate boost.
- Transfer Batter: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula to ensure uniform thickness.
- Bake: Bake the brownies for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs remaining, which ensures fudginess.
- Cool: Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes; this helps them set and makes slicing easier.
- Serve: Slice the brownies into squares and enjoy your healthy, zero-sugar Greek yogurt brownies as a nutritious snack or dessert.
Notes
- These brownies are naturally sweetened by the ripe bananas, so no added sugar is necessary.
- You can substitute the almond flour with oat flour if you prefer a different flour option.
- For extra sweetness, drizzle with sugar-free chocolate sauce or add a few drops of stevia or monk fruit sweetener to the batter.
- The texture is dense and fudgy due to the Greek yogurt and bananas, making them a satisfying treat.
