Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 9 brownies
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup probiotic yogurt
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch square baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring the paper overhangs on two sides for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together the unsweetened cocoa powder and almond flour to remove any lumps and ensure a smooth texture.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, eggs, vanilla extract, and probiotic yogurt until well combined and smooth.
- Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the brownies tough.
- Add the salt and mix lightly to distribute evenly throughout the batter.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula and smoothing the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then use the parchment paper to lift the brownies out and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, cut into 9 equal squares. For an Easter theme, you can dust with powdered sugar or decorate with bunny-shaped stencils.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days to maintain the probiotic benefits.
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth mixing and consistent texture.
- Don't overmix the batter - this can lead to tough, dense brownies. Mix just until ingredients are combined.
- For an extra festive touch, use bunny-shaped cookie cutters or stencils to create Easter-themed decorations.
- Choose a high-quality probiotic yogurt for maximum health benefits.
- Allow brownies to cool completely before cutting to maintain their structure.
- Store in the refrigerator to preserve the probiotic cultures and extend shelf life.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute coconut yogurt or a plant-based probiotic alternative.
