Perfect for a wholesome dessert or snack, these brownies are easy to prepare and bake in under 35 minutes.


Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar (or brown sugar)

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup oat flour
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Optional

  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8×8 inch baking dish by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, unsweetened applesauce, eggs, vanilla extract, and coconut sugar until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Sift in the cocoa powder, oat flour, baking soda, and salt. Gently stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the brownies tender.
  4. Fold in Chocolate Chips: If using mini chocolate chips, fold them into the batter carefully to evenly distribute throughout.
  5. Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the prepared batter into the lined or greased baking dish and spread it evenly with a spatula for uniform thickness.
  6. Bake: Bake the brownies in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs, indicating fudgy doneness.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing. Cooling enhances the texture and makes them easier to cut.

Notes

  • Use oat flour for a gluten-free version, but ensure your oat flour is certified gluten-free if needed.
  • Substitute coconut sugar with brown sugar if preferred; both provide moisture and sweetness.
  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense brownies; mix until just combined.
  • Allow the brownies to cool fully before slicing for clean edges and better texture.
  • Optional mini chocolate chips add extra bursts of chocolate but can be omitted for a simpler brownie.
