Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (preferably full-fat or 2%)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar or coconut sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Optional: 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8×8-inch baking pan by greasing or lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, applesauce, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
  3. In another bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined; avoid overmixing.
  5. If desired, fold in dark chocolate chips for added richness.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Let cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely before cutting.
