Greek yogurt brownies

My apologies for not posting a sweet recipe yesterday, I am not in town and spent a lot of time out in philadelphia yesterday.

This recipe I found through pinterest, and changed ever so slightly.

Ingredients:

• 3/4 cup flour
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 4 tbsp unsalted butter, at room temp.
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 1 large egg
• 2 egg whites
• 1 tsp vanilla extract (1/2 of a more potent vanilla)
• 1/2 cup greek yogurt (see notes below)
• 1/4 cup semisweet choco chips
• Walnuts optional
• 2 tbsp espresso powder optional

 

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350, line an 8 in square pan with foil and spray lightly with cooking spray
2. In a medium bowl, whisk flour, cocoa, salt, and baking powder. Set aside.
3. In an electric mixer-- cream butter and sugar until combined. Add egg, egg whites, and vanilla, (optional espresso powder add here too). Beat until well mixed
4. Scrape sides of bowl, and mix on low. Slowly add flour, then yogurt, and mix slowly until combined. The batter will be thick! Add choco chips and walnuts if desired.
5. Spread mixture evenly in pan and bake for 20-25 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool on rack before removing and cutting

NOTES

• First, I've used likes, and another brand of yogurt (that I'll have toads later), I know others who have used chobani and it hasn't come out as well, I would recommend any other Greek yogurt besides chobani. Also you could pick a flavored one if you want to add a hint of flavor to the brownies. Like raspberry or orange
• Just so you know, your brownies will shrink, so don't be alarmed. Make double if you want really big thick brownies, or if you just want more of them.
• These brownies will be dense. They are more like a very fudgey brownie without having to add all the fudge to still get the great taste and consistency.

ENJOY :)
