For a richer flavor, use dark cocoa powder. Add chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruit to the batter for extra texture and flavor. Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Indulge in these decadent, ultra-moist brownies, crafted with whole wheat flour and creamy Greek yogurt for a surprisingly wholesome treat. The rich cocoa notes and subtle sweetness combine for a guilt-free delight that satisfies your cravings.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). (5 minutes)
Lightly grease an 8-inch square baking pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking. (1 minute)
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, whole wheat flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. (5 minutes)
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, cooled coffee, applesauce, and vanilla extract until smooth. (3 minutes)
Pour the wet ingredients into the well of the dry ingredients. Gently fold with a spatula until just combined, being careful not to overmix. A few streaks of flour are okay. (5 minutes)
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly. (2 minutes)
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached. (50 minutes)
Let the brownies cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before cutting into squares and serving. (15 minutes)
