  • Eye-Catching Appeal: These brownies are so pretty, especially when topped with extra mini chocolate chips.

  • Diet-Friendly Options: They’re eggless and can easily be adapted for gluten-free baking.

Ingredients You’ll Need

  • 1 cup (125 grams) flour: All-purpose flour works best, but you can substitute with a gluten-free flour blend for a gluten-free option.
  • 3/4 cup (86 grams) Dutch-process cocoa powder: This gives your brownies a deep chocolate flavor. Make sure to sift it if it’s lumpy for even mixing.
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt: A pinch of salt enhances the sweetness and balances the flavors.
  • 2/3 cup (150 grams) butter or refined coconut oil: Either option will provide the fat needed for fudgy brownies; just be sure it’s melted and cooled.
  • 1 1/2 cups (300 grams) granulated sugar or coconut sugar: This keeps the brownies sweet and delicious. Coconut sugar gives a hint of caramel flavor.
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract: Pure vanilla extract is preferred for the best taste.
  • 3/4 cup (182 grams) full-fat plain Greek yogurt: This is the secret ingredient that keeps the brownies moist without any eggs. Make sure it’s at room temperature for easy mixing.
  • 3/4 cup (128 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips + an additional 1/4 cup (43 grams) to sprinkle on top, optional: Semi-sweet chocolate chips add extra pockets of chocolate goodness; sprinkle additional chips on top for an appealing finish if desired.
  • 1/4 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips, optional: A fun addition on top or mixed into the batter for extra sweetness.

How to Make Greek Yogurt Brownies (Easy Eggless Brownie Recipe)

  1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8″x8″ (20cm x 20cm) pan with parchment paper for easy removal and cleanup.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup of flour, 3/4 cup of Dutch-process cocoa powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Mix them together and set aside.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a larger mixing bowl, whisk together 2/3 cup of melted and cooled butter (or coconut oil), 1 1/2 cups of granulated sugar, and 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract until smooth. Then, add 3/4 cup of room-temperature Greek yogurt and stir until everything is just combined.
  4. Mix Dry into Wet: Gently add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients. Stir until almost no streaks of flour remain in the batter. Avoid overmixing to keep the brownies tender.
  5. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Carefully fold in 3/4 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips, being mindful of the texture. The batter may seem a bit greasy, but that’s perfectly normal as long as everything is blended well.
  6. Transfer to Pan: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan, smoothing it out with a spatula. If desired, sprinkle the top with the additional 1/4 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1/4 cup of mini chocolate chips for extra flair.
  7. Bake: Place your brownies in the oven and bake for 20-24 minutes, or until the middle is set and no longer jiggly. Remember, the toothpick test may not work well here due to the fudgy nature of the brownies. For best results, let them cool completely before slicing.
  8. Cool and Enjoy: For easier cutting, chill them in the refrigerator for a bit. Enjoy these gooey treats!

Storing & Reheating

These brownies can be kept in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature. If you’d like them to last longer, refrigerate for up to a week. For freezing, wrap them tightly and store them for up to 3 months. To refresh the brownies, simply warm them slightly in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds, which helps restore their gooey texture. Keep in mind that while the flavor remains delicious, the texture may change slightly after freezing.

Chef’s Helpful Tips

  • Avoid overmixing when combining dry and wet ingredients; this will ensure a lighter texture.
  • Make sure your butter or coconut oil is completely cooled before mixing; this helps prevent curdling with the Greek yogurt.
  • Allow the brownies to cool fully for the best texture; if cut too soon, they may be too gooey to handle.
  • Consider adding a pinch of espresso powder to the batter for an added depth of flavor.
  • These brownies can easily be made ahead of time and stored, making them perfect for spontaneous get-togethers.

With Greek Yogurt Brownies in your recipe collection, you’ll have a quick and enjoyable dessert ready for any occasion.

Recipe FAQs

Are Greek Yogurt Brownies healthy?

While they’re still a dessert, using Greek yogurt lends a bit more protein and moisture without eggs, making them a slightly healthier option compared to traditional brownies. Enjoy them in moderation!

Can I substitute the Greek yogurt with anything else?

Yes, you can use pureed applesauce or silken tofu as an egg-free alternative. Though, keep in mind that it may change the flavor and texture slightly.

How do I know when the brownies are done baking?

Since these brownies are very fudgy, the toothpick test may not be ideal. Instead, look for a set middle that doesn’t jiggle. They will firm up as they cool down.

Can I double this recipe?

Absolutely! Just use a larger baking pan (a 9″x13″ pan works well) and adjust your baking time as needed. Be sure to keep an eye on them as they bake!
