Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, eggs, vanilla extract, and almond milk until smooth.
In a separate bowl, sift together cocoa powder, almond flour, sugar-free sweetener, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring until fully combined.
If using, gently fold in sugar-free dark chocolate chips for extra chocolatey goodness.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares.

Variations

Add nuts such as walnuts or pecans for a crunchy texture.
Fold in sugar-free peanut butter swirls for a chocolate-peanut twist.
Sprinkle unsweetened coconut flakes or cocoa nibs on top before baking.
Use flavored sugar-free chocolate chips like mint or caramel for a unique flavor.

Heating and Storage

Storage: Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator for up to a week. You can also freeze them for up to two months.

Reheating: Enjoy these brownies slightly warmed by microwaving them for 10-15 seconds, or let them come to room temperature if refrigerated or frozen.
