Indulge guilt-free with Healthy Greek Yogurt Protein Brownies! These fudgy delights blend Greek yogurt and cocoa for rich flavor while boosting your protein intake.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • Greek Yogurt
  • Cocoa Powder
  • Oats
  • Maple Syrup
  • Baking Powder
  • Vanilla Bean Paste
  • Dark Chocolate Chips

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a square baking pan by greasing it lightly or lining it with parchment paper for easy removal after baking.
  2. Step 2: Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla bean paste. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well-blended. This forms the base of your brownie batter, adding moisture and flavor.
  3. Step 3: Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the oats, cocoa powder, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Mixing these dry ingredients separately ensures even distribution before combining them with the wet mixture.
  4. Step 4: Combine Mixtures & Add Chocolate Chips: Add the dry ingredient mix into the bowl with the wet ingredients. Gently fold until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Finally, stir in the dark chocolate chips for extra indulgence and texture throughout the brownies.
  5. Step 5: Bake & Cool: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow cooling in the pan before slicing into squares.

Notes

  • Store your Healthy Greek Yogurt Protein Brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days, or refrigerate them for a week to keep them fresh.
  • To reheat, simply pop a brownie in the microwave for 10-15 seconds; this will make it warm and gooey, enhancing the chocolate flavor.
  • For a delightful serving suggestion, top your brownies with a dollop of extra Greek yogurt and a drizzle of maple syrup for added creaminess and sweetness.
  • As a chef's tip, ensure that you don't overmix the batter after adding the dry ingredients; gentle folding will help maintain the brownies' fudgy texture.
