Ingredients for Zero-Sugar Greek Yogurt Brownies

- 2 large eggs
- ¾ cup zero-calorie granulated sweetener (like erythritol or monk fruit, learn more here)

- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup sugar-free dark chocolate chips (plus extra for the top, optional)
How to Make Zero-Sugar Greek Yogurt Brownies
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch (20x20cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy lifting later.
Step 2: Mix Wet Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, eggs, sweetener, and vanilla extract until fully combined and smooth.
Step 3: Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, sift together the unsweetened cocoa powder, almond flour, baking powder, and salt to remove lumps.
Step 4: Bring It All Together
Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula until just mixed—don’t overmix! Fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips.
Step 5: Bake
Pour the batter into your prepared pan, smoothing the top. Sprinkle with extra chips if desired. Bake for 25-28 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs.
Step 6: Cool and Serve
Let brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before slicing and enjoying for the fudgiest texture.
Notes for the Best Zero-Sugar Greek Yogurt Brownies
- Sifting cocoa powder is crucial—unsifted cocoa equals lumpy brownies (a tip echoed in Sally's Baking Addiction).
- Check brownies early: Different ovens vary, so start testing at the 25-minute mark.
- Use parchment for easy removal. Clean slices without sticking every time!
