Easy Zero Sugar Brownies with Greek Yogurt (Fudgy, Healthy & Guilt-Free)

If you’ve ever craved brownies but didn’t want the sugar crash, calorie overload, or guilt that usually comes with them, these Easy Zero Sugar Brownies with Greek Yogurt are about to become your new favorite dessert. Rich, chocolatey, and surprisingly fudgy, this recipe proves that you don’t need refined sugar or loads of butter to make brownies that actually taste amazing.

Traditional brownies rely heavily on sugar and fat for texture and flavor. This healthier version swaps refined sugar for a zero-calorie sweetener and replaces much of the fat with creamy Greek yogurt. The result? A brownie that’s moist, satisfying, and perfect for anyone watching their sugar intake, following a healthier lifestyle, or simply wanting a smarter dessert option.

These brownies are ideal for busy weekdays, meal prep, post-dinner treats, or even as a healthier snack with coffee. Best of all, they’re simple enough for beginner bakers but impressive enough to serve to guests.


Why These Zero Sugar Brownies Actually Work

Making sugar-free brownies that don’t taste “diet” is all about balance. Greek yogurt plays a starring role here. Its natural creaminess adds moisture and structure, preventing the brownies from drying out. Cocoa powder provides deep chocolate flavor without added sugar, while a zero-calorie sweetener delivers sweetness without spiking blood sugar.

Unlike many “healthy” brownies that turn out dry or crumbly, these stay soft and fudgy thanks to the yogurt and careful ingredient ratios. You get the indulgent texture of classic brownies with a fraction of the sugar and calories.


Ingredients

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or low-fat)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup zero-calorie granulated sweetener (erythritol or monk fruit blend)
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup oat flour or almond flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup sugar-free dark chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, eggs, and zero-calorie sweetener until smooth and well combined.
  3. Add the vanilla extract and mix again.
  4. Sift in the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir gently until a smooth brownie batter forms.
  5. Fold in sugar-free chocolate chips if using.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top evenly.
  7. Bake for 22–25 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out slightly moist.
  8. Allow brownies to cool completely before slicing for the best texture.
