These Healthy Greek Yogurt Brownies offer a guilt-free way to indulge in a rich, chocolatey dessert. Made with oat flour and Greek yogurt, these brownies are moist, fudgy, and topped with a luscious homemade chocolate ganache. Perfect for a nutritious treat that doesn’t compromise on flavor.

  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 16 servings

Ingredients

Brownie Batter

  • ¼ cup oat flour (or almond flour)
  • ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ cup semisweet chocolate (4 oz, chopped)
  • 2 Tablespoons salted butter (or coconut oil, melted)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup vanilla Greek yogurt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup chocolate chips

Ganache

  • ½ cup semisweet chocolate (4 ounces, chopped)
  • ½ cup heavy cream (or coconut cream)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and grease a 9×9-inch baking pan to prevent sticking; set aside.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a small bowl, combine oat flour, cocoa powder, and sea salt; mix well and set aside.
  3. Melt Chocolate and Fat: Melt the chopped chocolate and butter or coconut oil together in the microwave, stirring until completely smooth and combined.
  4. Combine Wet Ingredients: Whisk the granulated sugar, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and eggs into the melted chocolate mixture until smooth and creamy.
  5. Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually whisk in the dry flour mixture just until incorporated to avoid overmixing the batter.
  6. Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter for extra chocolate bursts.
  7. Bake the Brownies: Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the top is just set and edges start pulling away from the pan; 20 minutes yields gooier brownies.
  8. Cool Brownies: Remove brownies from oven and place the pan on a wire rack to cool while you prepare the ganache.
  9. Make Ganache – Heat Cream: In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, warm the heavy cream until it begins to bubble, but do not let it boil.
  10. Add Chocolate and Vanilla: Remove the pan from heat and whisk in chopped chocolate and vanilla extract until dark, smooth, and glossy.
  11. Cool Ganache Slightly: Let the ganache cool off the heat; it will thicken as it cools down.
  12. Assemble and Chill: Pour the slightly cooled ganache over the cooled brownies. Let it firm up at room temperature, or place the brownies in the refrigerator to speed up the process.
  13. Serve: Once the ganache is set, cut the brownies into squares and serve either at room temperature or chilled for a refreshing treat.

Notes

  • You can substitute oat flour with almond flour for a nuttier taste and different texture.
  • Using coconut oil instead of butter in the brownies and ganache makes this recipe dairy-free.
  • The baking time controls the fudge level: bake less for gooier brownies and longer for more cake-like texture.
  • Store brownies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Bring brownies to room temperature before serving to enjoy the best flavor and texture.
