Description
Deliciously fudgy brownies made with dark chocolate and coconut oil, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1–1/2 cups dark chocolate chips (53% cacao, divided)
- 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 cup honey vanilla Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar (or light brown sugar)
- 3/4 cup oat flour (just blend regular oats in a blender)
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 2 tablespoons vanilla Greek yogurt
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350°F (176°C). Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang. Lightly spray with cooking spray.
- Add 1 cup of chocolate chips to a large bowl. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the coconut oil. Pour the hot oil over the chocolate chips and stir until melted. If needed, microwave in 10–15 second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth. Let cool slightly.
- Whisk the Greek yogurt into the melted chocolate. Add vanilla, salt, baking soda, and sugar; whisk until completely smooth.
- Blend oats into a fine powder. Measure out 3/4 cup after blending. Stir into the batter along with the remaining 1/2 cup chocolate chips.
- Spread batter evenly into the prepared pan (it will be thick). Bake for 28–32 minutes or until a fork inserted in the center comes out clean. Do not overbake; slightly underbaking gives a fudgier result. Let brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
- Optional Frosting: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and milk. Microwave in 15-second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth. Stir in Greek yogurt, then whisk in powdered sugar. Briskly whisk until completely smooth. Let sit at room temp for 10 minutes to thicken before spreading over cooled brownies.
- Cover the pan and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight. These brownies are best cold. Once chilled, lift out using the parchment and cut into squares.
Notes
- Note 1: Cacao percentage in dark chocolate chips varies, adjust based on preference.
- Note 2: Coconut oil adds a subtle coconut flavor, can use other oils if preferred.
- Note 3: Honey vanilla Greek yogurt can be substituted with plain yogurt and a bit of honey.
