Brownies made with Greek Yogurt and NO Butter

I am kind of a brownie snob. They are pretty much my favorite food (don’t judge) and I have been making them for lots of years. I have perfected my regular brownie recipe and thought I should challenge myself to come up with a recipe for a fudgy brownie without using butter. I did it!!

Fudge Brownies made with Greek Yogurt

I can’t exactly call these “healthy” BUT they are certainly healthier than their butter filled counterparts. Cocoa = good for you! Coconut oil = good for you! Greek yogurt = good for you! I am calling this a win 🙂

The chocolate chips on top are optional, but, um, why would you leave them out? Life is better with more chocolate, am I right?

Now, when you are baking these and the timer goes off you are going to think they are not done. You can’t really use a tester because they will still look too gooey, but they continue to cook in the pan after you remove them from the oven. We want them fudgy, so go ahead and listen to me and pull them out at 20 minutes. Everyone’s ovens are a bit different but that was the sweet spot for me!

These are dense and chocolatey and a lovely alternative to the full fat brownies. Enjoy!

    I made these yesterday, and I have to say that I was amazed!! They turned out great! So fudgy and delicious. I was skeptical because of the lack of eggs or butter, but I was pleasantly surprised. I’m so thankful to have come across this recipe, finding eggless recipes can be challenging, especially brownies. Thank you!!

    I just finished making these. I couldn’t find my 8×8 pan so I made them in an 8×6 and I took them out too early 🙁 I only left them in for 25 minutes and should’ve done at least 30 minutes.

    The flavor is really good and i like the texture. Very satisfying!

        You could use canola oil or vegetable oil instead 🙂 Enjoy!

    Can I just say… Amazing! I made these instead of buying a birthday cake and they were a hit! I made three batches and only got the chance to try one before the guests ate everything. Amazing!

    I love baking with yogurt. It’s such a great substitute. I had to try some elimination diets for my ibs and this is one trick I picked up that stuck with me. Love it. I have to try these asap. They look like perfection to me. I wish I had a plate of them right now.

    Love this variation. Although I’m a huge consumer of butter, I am delighted to think of making brownies without it. Like you, I’ll be topping mine with chocolate chips because, why not?
