This healthier, and still delicious, brownie recipe uses white whole wheat flour and maple syrup, a natural sweetener, instead of refined white sugar or brown sugar.
1 1/2tablespoons21g unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
1large eggroom temperature
1teaspoonvanilla extract
1/3cup80g plain nonfat Greek yogurt
1/2cup120mL pure maple syrup
1/4cup56g chopped dark chocolate, divided
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F, and lightly coat an 8-inch square pan with nonstick cooking spray.
Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk the butter, egg, and vanilla. Stir in the Greek yogurt, mixing until no large lumps remain. Stir in the maple syrup. Add the flour mixture, stirring until just incorporated. Fold in 3 tablespoons of the chopped dark chocolate.
Spread the batter into the prepared pan, and gently press the remaining chopped chocolate into the top. Bake for 15 to 17 minutes. Cool completely to room temperature in the pan. Let the brownies set for at least 3 additional hours before slicing for the fudgiest texture.
