Greek Yogurt Raspberry Brownies: A Healthy and Delicious Dessert

Ingredients for Greek Yogurt Raspberry Brownies
To make these delicious and healthy brownies, you’ll need the following ingredients:
Dry Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour for a gluten-free option)
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients:
1 cup Greek yogurt (preferably full-fat for a richer texture)
2 large eggs
3/4 cup granulated sugar (or honey for a natural sweetener)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add-Ins:
1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)
Step-by-Step Recipe Instructions
Step 1: Preparing the Batter
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients: Greek yogurt, eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the brownies tender.
Gently fold in the raspberries and chocolate chips (if using).
Step 2: Baking the Brownies
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
Add a few extra raspberries on top for a beautiful presentation.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Step 3: Cooling and Serving
Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Once completely cooled, cut into squares and serve. For an extra touch, top with a dollop of Greek yogurt or fresh raspberries.
Tips for Perfect Greek Yogurt Raspberry Brownies
Use Full-Fat Greek Yogurt: This ensures a richer texture and moist brownies.
Don’t Overmix the Batter: Overmixing can lead to dense brownies. Mix until just combined.
Adjust Sweetness: If you prefer less sweetness, reduce the sugar or use a natural sweetener like honey.
Store Properly: Keep the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to 5 days.
