Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
In a large bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, melted coconut oil (or butter), eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add granulated sweetener and brown sugar and whisk until combined.
Sift in cocoa powder, flour, baking soda, and salt. Gently fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
Stir in dark chocolate chips, reserving a few for topping. Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle remaining chocolate chips over the batter.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, until the center is just set and a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Allow brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing into 9 squares.

Notes

Use a gluten-free flour blend for a gluten-free option.

Add chopped walnuts or pecans for extra crunch.

Mix in 1 tablespoon espresso powder for deeper chocolate flavor.

Swirl peanut butter or add white chocolate chips for variation.

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 1 week.

Freeze individually wrapped brownies for up to 2 months and thaw at room temperature or microwave briefly before serving.
