🛒 Ingredients for the Best Greek Yogurt Brownies
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour for extra fiber)
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¾ cup granulated sugar (or coconut sugar for a refined sugar alternative)
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients:
- ¾ cup Greek yogurt (plain, full-fat or low-fat)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- ½ cup melted dark chocolate
Mix-ins & Toppings:
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips
- ¼ cup white chocolate chips (for a beautiful contrast and added creaminess)
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat & Prepare
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly with cooking spray.
Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt. This ensures even distribution of ingredients for a uniform brownie texture.
Step 3: Combine the Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, mix Greek yogurt, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth. Slowly add the melted dark chocolate and whisk until well combined.
Step 4: Make the Batter
Gradually fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined – don’t overmix, as it can make the brownies dense.
Step 5: Add the Chocolate Chips
Gently fold in dark chocolate chips. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle white chocolate chips evenly on top for that delicious swirled look.
Step 6: Bake to Perfection
Bake for 22-28 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter!). The brownies will continue to set as they cool.
Step 7: Cool & Slice
Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before slicing. This step is crucial for achieving the perfect fudgy texture!
⭐ Pro Tips for Perfect Greek Yogurt Brownies
✔️ Don’t Overbake – The key to fudgy brownies is removing them from the oven when the center is slightly underdone.
✔️ Use High-Quality Cocoa – A good quality cocoa powder ensures deep, rich chocolate flavor.
✔️ Let Them Rest – Cooling for at least 30 minutes allows the brownies to firm up.
✔️ For Extra Gooeyness – Add an extra 2 tablespoons of Greek yogurt to the batter.

🍽 Variations & Customizations
💖 Nutty Delight: Add ½ cup chopped walnuts or almonds for a crunchy texture.
💖 Peanut Butter Swirl: Swirl in 2 tablespoons of peanut butter before baking for a nutty twist.
💖 Espresso Boost: Stir in 1 teaspoon of instant coffee to intensify the chocolate flavor.
