Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup chopped chocolate or chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil
- 1 cup vegan Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons milk of choice
- 1 tablespoon oat flour
- Pinch of sea salt
- Pinch of baking powder
Instructions:
- Preheat Your Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a brownie pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Melt the Chocolate:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chopped chocolate and coconut oil together, heating in the microwave for about 1 minute. Stir until smooth and fully melted.
- Mix Wet Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted chocolate mixture with the vegan Greek yogurt and granulated sugar. Stir until the ingredients are well combined and smooth.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients:
- Add the cocoa powder to the chocolate-yogurt mixture and stir until well mixed. Then, add the milk, oat flour, sea salt, and baking powder. Whisk until the batter is uniform and silky.
- Bake the Brownies:
- Pour the batter into the prepared brownie pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and Set:
- Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan. For the best results, place the cooled brownies in the fridge for at least 2 hours before slicing into squares.
Enjoy!
