4 Ingredient Yogurt Brownies
These healthy yogurt brownies come out rich and fudgy and have the same texture as regular brownies. They are just 4 ingredients and don't contain any flour, refined sugar, eggs, butter or oil.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (113 g) nonfat plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup (128 g) natural peanut butter
- 1/4 cup (22 g) unsweetened dutch process cocoa powder, or unsweetened natural cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup (59 ml) maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line an 8 x 4 inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
- Add all ingredients into a large mixing bowl. Mix with a spatula until everything is evenly combined and the mixture is uniform in color. The mixture will become very thick as you mix it and will have a consistency like cookie dough. You can taste the dough and if you desire sweeter, you can add 1-2 tbsp more syrup.
- Add batter to your prepared loaf pan. Use a spatula to spread it evenly across the pan and smooth the surface. If you are adding chocolate chips, sprinkle them on top now and then lightly press them a little into the brownie dough.
- Bake brownies for about 30 minutes or until done. When the brownies are done, the surface will look done and slightly cracked. A toothpick inserted should also come out mostly clean. Let brownies cool fully before cutting and serving.
Notes
- Make sure to use natural peanut butter that doesn't contain any added oils. Peanut butter can also be substituted with natural almond butter.
- The chocolate chips are optional. I found the brownie to be sweet enough without them. I added them mainly for decoration.
- Maple syrup is used only to sweeten the brownies so it can be substituted with a sugar substitute or other sweetener of your choice.
- These brownies are lightly sweetened. If you want them sweeter, you can use sweetened vanilla Greek yogurt or add chocolate chips to the brownies. You can also add a frosting after the brownies are done baking.
- The nutrition estimate does not include optional chocolate chips.
