Ingredients
Brownie Batter
- ½ cup melted dark chocolate
- ⅔ cup coconut sugar (or white sugar or monk fruit sweetener)
- 1 cup vanilla Greek yogurt
- ¾ cup dairy free milk
- ⅔ cup cocoa powder
- ¾ cup flour (all purpose or gluten free)
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¾ cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8 inch by 8 inch baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make removal easier.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, add the melted dark chocolate, vanilla Greek yogurt, and coconut sugar. Stir these ingredients together until well combined and smooth.
- Add Milk: Pour in the dairy free milk and stir the mixture until it forms a runny batter with a consistent texture.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: Add the flour, cocoa powder, and baking soda to the wet ingredients. Stir until everything is evenly incorporated and you have a smooth batter.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the dark chocolate chips into the batter. The batter will thicken significantly, resembling cheesecake filling in texture.
- Transfer Batter: Pour the thick batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly to ensure uniform baking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 22 minutes. The brownies should be just barely set in the middle to ensure they remain fudgy after cooling.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the pan from the oven and let the brownies cool completely before slicing. This allows them to firm up perfectly and enhances the flavor and texture.
Notes
- You can substitute coconut sugar with white sugar or monk fruit sweetener based on preference.
- Use either all-purpose flour or gluten-free flour for dietary needs.
- Ensure not to overbake; the brownies should be slightly underdone in the center before cooling.
- Use dairy free milk as specified or regular milk if preferred.
- For extra gooey brownies, add a few more chocolate chips on top before baking.
