Ingredients You Need

Ingredients for Flourless Greek Yogurt Brownies laid out on a kitchen table

Here’s what you’ll need to make your Flourless Greek Yogurt Brownies absolutely pop with flavor:

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full fat or 2%) – This is our magic moisture powerhouse
  • 3/4 cup cocoa powder (unsweetened) – For full chocolate punch
  • 1 cup sugar (I usually go half white, half brown for extra depth)
  • 3 large eggs – Bind everything together and add richness
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract – Gets those warm, comforting notes going
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda – Helps with just the right rise for moist fudgy brownies
  • 1/4 tsp salt – Balances all the flavors

No worries if you don’t have Greek yogurt or want a dairy-free option! I’ve swapped in plant-based yogurt before, and it still gives a creamy texture perfect for these gluten-free brownies. You can find all these ingredients easily at your local grocery store, so no need for a special trip.

Want to spice it up further? I love adding a pinch of cinnamon or a splash of espresso powder to my Flourless Greek Yogurt Brownies for that extra flavor kick. Cooking tip: keep the Greek yogurt at room temperature before mixing—it blends better and gives a smoother batter.

To keep your brownies fresh, store them airtight at room temperature for up to three days or in the fridge if you want to extend their life a bit. Just pop them in your lunchbox or pack for a sweet after-dinner treat!

This Flourless Greek Yogurt Brownies ingredient list is all about bold flavors that actually work together! Bonus: if you’re craving a little crunch, adding chopped walnuts or chocolate chips right before baking takes these brownies to a whole new level.

Let’s Make Some!

1. First, preheat your oven to 350°F and grease or line an 8×8-inch baking pan. This is our brownie stage set—ready for delicious magic!

2. In a big bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Just take a minute to smell those cocoa vibes—yum!

3. Now add in the eggs, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract. Stir it up until it’s silky and well-mixed. This batter is going to be thick but so satisfying to work with because that’s when you know moist fudgy brownies are coming.

4. If you’re adding anything extra like nuts, chocolate chips, or a pinch of cinnamon, fold them in now for that little surprise.

5. Pour your Flourless Greek Yogurt Brownies batter into the prepared pan. Use the back of a spoon or spatula to smooth it out evenly. This is where the magic starts happening!

6. Bake for about 25 to 30 minutes. You’ll want to check at the 25-minute mark with a toothpick—it should come out with a few moist crumbs but not wet batter. This careful timing keeps the brownies dense and fudgy without drying out.

7. Let the brownies cool completely before slicing. This waiting part is torture (I feel you!) but it helps them set perfectly.

8. Slice into beautiful squares and get ready for your taste buds to celebrate.

In my kitchen, this Flourless Greek Yogurt Brownies usually takes under an hour from start to finish—perfect for a weeknight winner that actually feels special. Don’t worry if your first batch looks a bit different; each oven and yogurt type can shift the texture slightly. Just keep tasting and tweaking.

While your brownies are baking, I love to prep a simple Greek yogurt topping or scoop of vanilla ice cream to serve. Trust me, it’s the perfect combo for this Greek yogurt dessert!
