{Recipe} Greek Yogurt Brownies

I was looking for a healthier, high protein brownie recipe and needed to use up some Greek yogurt.  This recipe ticked all of the boxes and I had all of the ingredients so I gave it a go!

Wet Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar (or coconut sugar)
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup all purpose flour
• 1/2 cup cocoa powder
• 1/4 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt

Optional: 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

To make:

• Preheat oven to 350ºF. Prepare 8x8 pan with parchment paper
• Combine wet ingredients in a bowl, whisking until combined
• In a separate bowl mix dry ingredients together, whisk to combine
• Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients. Stir gently and don't over mix.  Fold in optional chocolate chips
• Pour mixture into prepared pan
• Bake 25-30 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean
• Let cool on wire rack
• Cut into squares and enjoy!

Yum!

I was in a heathy treat mood and made some of my Viral Date Snickers Bark but in more of a mound because I was in a hurry. I recommend the bark method but this was good in a pinch!

What's your favorite "healthier" treat?
