Ingredients
  

  • 2/3 cup nonfat vanilla Greek yogurt Adds moisture and protein, creating a fudgy texture.
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar A natural sweetener that offers a subtle caramel flavor.
  • 2 large eggs Binds the ingredients together and adds richness.
  • 5 ounces dark chocolate divided; provides a deep chocolate flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil For added moisture and a hint of coconut flavor.
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder Intensifies the chocolatey goodness.
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch Helps create a chewy texture.
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda Aids in leavening for a slightly puffed brownie.
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt Enhances the overall flavor of the brownies.

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • 8x8-inch baking pan
  • Spatula
  • Microwave-safe bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures your brownies will bake evenly and achieve that perfect fudgy texture.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 4 ounces of dark chocolate and 2 tablespoons of coconut oil. Heat in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth. Remove from the microwave and let it cool slightly.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the nonfat vanilla Greek yogurt, coconut sugar, and eggs. Once well combined, add the melted chocolate mixture and stir until smooth.
  4. In another bowl, mix together the cocoa powder, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. This will ensure that all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to denser brownies.
  6. Chop the remaining 1 ounce of dark chocolate into small chunks and fold them into your brownie batter. This will add delightful pockets of melty chocolate throughout.
  7. Pour the batter into an 8x8 inch baking pan lined with parchment paper. Spread it evenly and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, slice into squares and enjoy!
