Description
Decadent, fudgy, and naturally sweetened, these Greek Yogurt Brownies are a healthy treat made with ripe banana, Greek yogurt, and cocoa powder. They’re moist, protein-packed, and perfect for guilt-free snacking or a light dessert.
Ingredients
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/2 cup mashed ripe banana (about 1 medium banana)
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup peanut butter or almond butter
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/8 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking soda
Optional: 2–3 tbsp chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate (sugar-free if needed)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a loaf pan or small square baking dish with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed banana, Greek yogurt, peanut butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.
- Add the cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until everything is well combined.
- Fold in chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate if using.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, until the center is set and a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean.
- Let the brownies cool completely. For a firmer texture, refrigerate for an hour before slicing.
Notes
Swap peanut butter for almond or cashew butter for a different flavor.
Add a scoop of protein powder for extra protein (reduce cocoa slightly).
Sweeten further with maple syrup or stevia if desired.
Mix in chopped walnuts or pecans for crunch.
Top with sea salt or cocoa powder before baking for a festive touch.
Store in fridge up to 5 days or freeze individually for longer storage.
