Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare an 8×8-inch baking pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, almond butter, and honey (or maple syrup). Mix until smooth.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract, stirring until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined.
- Fold in the dark chocolate chips, if using.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Baking
- 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 in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
