Power Brownies Recipe

Recipe by: THERESA_M

"This ultra-moist brownie is made with whole wheat flour and strained Greek yogurt in place of butter or oil. The calcium and high protein content in the yogurt along with the fiber in the cocoa powder make this a healthier, guilt-free treat!"

1Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray an 8-inch square baking pan.
2Mix sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Push mixture to the sides of the bowl to form a well in the center.
3Combine yogurt, coffee, applesauce, and vanilla extract in a small bowl. Pour yogurt mixture into the flour mixture. Fold gently with a spatula until just combined. Spread in the prepared pan.
4Bake in the preheated oven until center is firm to the touch, 45 to 55 minutes. Cool slightly before cutting into squares, about 15 minutes.

Footnotes

Cook's Notes:
You can substitute water for the brewed coffee.
If you use regular plain yogurt, omit the coffee/water. The brownies will have a cakier texture.
Tip
Aluminum foil helps keep food moist, ensures it cooks evenly, keeps leftovers fresh, and makes clean-up easy.
