You can even customize them by adding chocolate chips for extra decadence. The best part? They require minimal effort, come together in no time, and are a healthier alternative to traditional brownies. Whether you’re looking for a quick dessert or a sweet snack, these brownies will satisfy your cravings without the need for flour.
Why You’ll Love This:
You’ll love these brownies for their rich, fudgy texture and simple ingredients. They’re naturally flourless, making them gluten-free, and you can choose your sweetener based on your dietary preferences. The addition of yogurt gives them a moist, tender crumb, while the cocoa powder delivers a deep chocolate flavor. Chocolate chips, if added, melt into the batter, adding pockets of gooey, melted chocolate in every bite. Plus, they’re easy to make and require minimal cleanup—just mix everything in one bowl and bake!
Perfect Occasion:

Whether you’re having a casual night in, hosting friends for coffee, or just craving something sweet, these brownies are ideal. Their rich flavor and fudgy texture make them a satisfying treat for chocolate lovers, and they’re great for both weekday baking and weekend indulgence. They’re also perfect for gluten-free gatherings or when you need a lighter, flourless option.
Decoration Tips:
To make these brownies extra special, you can top them with a drizzle of melted chocolate or a sprinkle of sea salt after baking for a sweet and salty contrast. You can also add a handful of nuts or swirl in some peanut butter for extra flavor. If you want a touch of elegance, dust the cooled brownies with a light sprinkle of powdered sugar before serving.
Ingredients:
- 2/3 cup yogurt (dairy-free or any plain/vanilla yogurt)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/3 cup monk fruit sweetener, cane sugar, or granulated sweetener
- 1 egg
- Optional: chocolate chips (as many as you like)
Instructions:
- Mix the Batter:
In a bowl, mix together the yogurt, cocoa powder, egg, and sweetener until the batter is smooth and well combined. - Optional Chocolate Chips:
If desired, stir in chocolate chips to add extra richness. - Prepare the Pan:
Line a baking dish with parchment paper. Pour the brownie batter into the lined dish and spread it evenly. Top with more chocolate chips for an indulgent touch. - Bake:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the brownies for 20-25 minutes, depending on how fudgy or firm you like your brownies. If you prefer a firmer texture, leave them in a little longer. - Cool and Slice:
Allow the brownies to cool completely before slicing. This step is essential for getting clean, neat squares. Once cooled, slice them into squares and enjoy!
Enjoy!
