Low Calorie Brownies Ingredients
- ½ cup whole wheat flour or protein powder
- 1 cup of low-fat milk
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/3 cup honey or sugar-free maple syrup
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- First things first, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) right now. Then, butter an 8×8-inch baking sheet or line it with parchment paper so that your low calorie brownies don’t stick.
- In a mixing bowl, take the low-fat milk, Greek yogurt, honey or sugar-free maple syrup, and vanilla extract and mix them until thoroughly combined.
- Then, sift together your dry ingredients: the cocoa powder, whole wheat flour or protein powder, baking powder, and salt. You need to gently fold the dry and wet ingredients together until just incorporated. Make sure you do not overmix the low calorie brownie batter, for overmixing will contribute to a rock–like brownie.
- Optional: If you want to add an extra dose of chocolate flavor, feel free to add chocolate chips or any additional toppings you like to your low calorie brownie such as a dollop of Greek yogurt, raspberries, nuts, sugar-free candy, etc.
- Finally, pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula. Bake the low calorie brownies for about 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious low calorie brownies!
