Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup greek yogurt
- 1 extra large egg
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup protein powder
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
- Set the prepared pan aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the room temperature extra large egg, greek yogurt, cocoa powder, protein powder, coconut sugar, and baking powder.
- Stir vigorously for 1-2 minutes until you have a smooth, thick batter with no lumps.
- Pour the batter into your prepared pan.
- Spread the batter evenly with a spatula.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes.
- Test for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
- Remove the brownies from the oven.
- Let them cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before cutting.
- Optionally, dust with a tiny pinch of sea salt for enhanced flavor.
Notes
Use a thick Greek yogurt like Fage Total 0% for the best fudgy texture.
Ensure the egg is at room temperature for a smooth batter.
Do not overbake; brownies should be fudgy, not dry.
Cool completely in the pan before slicing for clean cuts.
