These flourless Greek yogurt brownies are the ultimate healthy dessert. Made with just 4 ingredients, this yogurt protein brownie recipe is also incredibly easy to make. Are you ready to learn how to make low calorie, high protein and delicious brownies with Greek yogurt?
Fudgy, chocolatey flourless brownies are so decadent that you’ll never guess they are actually healthy, high protein, low in carbs and low calories. Legit the best healthy brownies ever.
When I say that this is one of the best recipes I’ve ever made, I mean it. Easy, healthy and so delicious…The moment these brownies came out of the oven, I couldn’t keep my enthusiast and almost got emotional. Funny that I came up with this flourless Greek yogurt brownie recipe almost by chance. I was about to add oat flour, when I realized that the cocoa powder was more than enough to give my brownie batter a good, rich texture. So I decided to experiment and baked that simple batter. Greek yogurt, egg, cocoa powder, sweetener and nothing more!
The ingredients for Greek yogurt brownies
You will love how simple this flourless brownie recipe is. You just need four basic ingredients that you probably already have at home. Keep on reading for all details and substitutes!
- Greek yogurt. This flourless brownie recipe can be prepared with both low-fat and full-fat Greek yogurt. As an alternative you can use Skyr, quark or a firm plant based yogurt of your choice.
- Cocoa powder. For healthy brownies, I recommend using natural cocoa powder without added sugars.
- Granular sweetener: This recipe uses erythritol as a calorie-free and sugar-free option. Feel free to replace with any granular sweetener you like, such as coconut sugar or brown sugar.
- Egg. This ingredient is a must to add taste and give your brownies their irresistibly fudgy texture. Although I do not recommend it, for Greek yogurt brownies that are even lower in calories you can replace one whole egg with about 60 ml (1/4 cup) of egg whites. The result, however, won’t be exactly the same.
As mentioned before, the basic recipe for flourless Greek yogurt brownies calls for four ingredients only. However, you are free to add some extras and customize the brownies to your liking. Here are some ideas for you:
- Coffee powder. It is just a hint, but the coffee powder will bring your low calorie brownies to another level!
- Pinch of salt. This will enhance the taste and balance sweetness.
- Vanilla extract. Make sure to add vanilla for brownies that are more flavorsome.
- Chocolate chips. You can add chocolate chips in the batter, on the top of your flourless brownies or do both. With chocolate you can’t go wrong!
- Nuts: Stir in your favorite nuts for a crunchy brownie experience!
Dairy-free brownies with no flour
Making a dairy-free brownie with no flour is as simple as replacing Greek yogurt with a plant based alternative of your choice. Feel free to utilize your favorite nondairy yogurt. As long as it has a firm, thick texture it should be fine. My recommendations are firm soy yogurt and coconut yogurt.
How to make Greek yogurt brownies with no flour
Making low calorie yogurt brownies is incredibly quick and easy. You will love that this recipe comes together in a bowl, in minutes – without the need for special baking skills!
Step 1: Make the brownie batter. In a bowl, mix Greek yogurt together with the egg, cocoa powder and granular sweetener. Stir until all ingredients are well combined and you get a smooth batter.
Step 2. Transfer the Greek yogurt brownie batter to your prepared brownie pan, and optionally sprinkle with chocolate chips on top. Finally, bake in hot oven for 22 to 30 minutes – mine took 25 minutes. Be sure to let them cool completely at room temperature before slicing.
How to store Greek yogurt brownies
After baking, let these flourless brownies cool at room temperature. Once they have cooled, place in a sealable airtight food container and store in the fridge for up to 4 days.
In case you need to store them for longer, freeze these flourless Greek yogurt brownies in an airtight food container or in a freezer zipping bag for up to 3 months. Before serving, reheat in hot oven for a couple of minutes.

I appreciate the simplicity and affordability of the ingredients used here. I was looking for a truly flourless brownie and these delivered! They are perfectly sweetened and very chocolatey with more of a custard-like texture and an unexpected tang at the end from the Greek yogurt. I suspect they’ll be better after they sit in the fridge and the flavors develop more. They are perfect for snacking, and I will definitely make them again. I would like to say that in my searching I came across this same recipe duplicated many times over. If you look at the dates on the other recipes’ webpages, you’ll see that Matteo is the originator, and that the others are plagiarized and mostly AI-generated content. I hope this young man gets due credit for his creativity!
Hi Crystal!
THANK YOU SO MUCH for your heartfelt review. For real, I am sincerely grateful.
First thing first, happy you enjoyed the recipe. Second and most importantly, thanks a lot for recognizing my efforts. I swear, nowadays I get so many people stealing my content with AI..and you know what? Eventually I am the one who’s blamed for copying. Disgusting to be honest, but hey, what can we do..
Have a fantastic day,
Matteo
hi Matteo, im planning to make this recipe today but don’t have a 15x15xm pan, do you think a muffin pan would work? would there be any adjustments? sorry if this has already been asked, and also I really love all of your recipes!! 🙂
Hey Takemi,
thanks a lot for your question. Happy you want to give this recipe a try.
A muffin pan works fine. The only consideration is to lower baking time slightly, as muffins cook faster. Also, do not fill each muffin tin more than 1/2. This batter is for brownies, not for cakes and muffins. So it will not rise as much. And if too much batter is added, they may remain wet inside.
Hope I could help,
Matteo
Thank you for sharing this recipe, its easy to make and very tasty.I also melted dark chocolate and mixed it with almond butter then added it on the top once the dessert cooled down and also decorated with hazelnuts. Its very nice.
Hey Ivi,
thanks a lot for your review! I am so happy you liked my Greek yogurt brownie recipe — and by the way, I LOVE your customization ideas. I have to try these myself 😉
Have a great Sunday and happy Easter.
Best,
Matteo
