Why You’ll Love This Flourless Greek Yogurt Brownies Recipe

You won’t believe these brownies are made without flour. The texture is dense and chewy, but still tender thanks to the yogurt. They’re naturally gluten-free, come together in one bowl, and use simple pantry staples. Plus, they’re a great way to sneak in a little extra protein without sacrificing dessert.

Whether you’re baking for kids, guests, or yourself, these are a go-to healthy treat. Add in your favorite mix-ins like dark chocolate chips or chopped walnuts to make them your own.

What Kind of Greek Yogurt Should I Use?

For the best results, go with full-fat Greek yogurt. It offers a richer taste and creamier consistency, which helps mimic the moist texture typically provided by butter or oil in traditional brownies. However, low-fat or even fat-free Greek yogurt works fine too if you’re watching calories. Just know the texture may be a touch less decadent.

Ingredients for the Flourless Greek Yogurt Brownies

Using wholesome, easy-to-find ingredients, these brownies come together in no time. Each component plays a role in creating the perfect gooey bite.

Greek yogurt brings creaminess, protein, and structure. It replaces butter or oil and helps bind the batter without flour.

Cocoa powder gives the brownies their rich, deep chocolate flavor. Use unsweetened cocoa for best results.

Eggs are essential to hold the batter together and provide lift and texture.

Sugar sweetens things up and balances the tang from the yogurt and the bitterness from cocoa.

Vanilla extract enhances the chocolate flavor and adds warmth to the overall taste.

Salt might be a small addition, but it rounds out the sweetness and intensifies the cocoa flavor.

Baking soda helps the brownies rise just slightly for that perfect bite.

Optional: Chocolate chips or chunks for extra gooeyness.

How To Make the Flourless Greek Yogurt Brownies

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

Preheat your oven to 350°F and line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

Step 3: Add the Dry Ingredients

Add cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda to the wet mixture. Stir until the batter is rich and thick. If you’re using chocolate chips, fold them in now.

Step 4: Bake

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.

Step 5: Cool and Serve

Let the brownies cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before slicing. For clean cuts, let them cool completely.

How to Serve and Store Flourless Greek Yogurt Brownies

These brownies are delicious warm or chilled. Serve them plain or topped with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla Greek yogurt for extra flair. If you’re going for indulgent, a drizzle of melted chocolate doesn’t hurt either.

This recipe makes about 9 square brownies, making it perfect for a small gathering or meal prep for the week. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. They also freeze beautifully, just wrap each piece in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 2 months.
