Dietary Modifications
- To make gluten-free, use a gluten-free flour such as Bob’s 1:1 Gluten-Free Flour or King Arthur measure for measure. Also, make sure chocolate chips are free of gluten.

How to make these healthy Greek yogurt brownies:
Step 1: preheat and prep
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 9×9-inch square pan or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2: mix wet ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and white sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, and then stir in the vanilla extract. Add the one cup of Greek yogurt and mix until well incorporated.
Step 3: add in dry ingredients
Add in the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder to the wet ingredients. Gently fold until the dry ingredients are just incorporated, being careful not to overmix. You will have a thick batter. Fold in the chocolate chips or chunks, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour batter into the prepared brownie pan, spreading it evenly. Bake brownies in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Do not overbake if you want them chewy.
Step 4: cool and enjoy!
Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan set on a wire rack. Once cooled, cut into squares and serve.
Expert Tip!
Top with flakey sea salt to round it all out!
