Healthy Fudgy Brownies

Healthy fudgy brownies made with almond butter, applesauce, and Greek yogurt for a delicious, better-for-you dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup creamy almond butter
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/4 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/3 cup oat flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons mini semisweet chocolate chips, for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper and lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond butter, applesauce, Greek yogurt, eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla until smooth.
  3. Add the cocoa powder, oat flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir until fully combined and no dry streaks remain.
  4. Fold in the 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips.
  5. Spread the brownie batter evenly into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips over the top.
  6. Bake for 20 to 24 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center still looks slightly soft for a fudgy texture.
  7. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before slicing. For extra fudgy brownies, chill them for 30 minutes before cutting.
  8. Slice into 16 squares and serve.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • For a nut-free version, replace almond butter with sunflower seed butter.
