Description
These flourless Greek yogurt brownies are intensely chocolatey, fudgy, and surprisingly easy to make. A tahini chocolate swirl adds a unique nutty flavor and elevates these gluten-free treats.
Ingredients
Scale
- 200g (7oz) plain full-fat Greek yogurt
- 120g (½ cup) unsalted butter, melted
- 180g (¾ cup) granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs

- 2 tbsp (30ml) tahini
- 1 tbsp (15ml) pure maple syrup
- Pinch flaky sea salt
- 2 tbsp (15g) toasted almond slivers
Instructions
- Preheat & Prepare: Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a 20x20cm (8×8 inch) pan with parchment paper.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: Whisk Greek yogurt, melted butter, and sugar until smooth.
- Incorporate Eggs: Add eggs one at a time, whisking quickly after each addition. Stir in vanilla.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Sift cocoa powder, salt, and espresso powder into wet ingredients. Gently fold until just combined.
- First Batter Layer: Spread half the batter evenly in the pan.
- Prepare Ganache: Heat cream, pour over chocolate, let sit, then stir until melted and smooth.
- Make Ganache: Whisk in tahini, maple syrup, and flaky sea salt.
- Swirl Ganache: Drop spoonfuls of ganache over batter and gently swirl.
- Second Batter Layer: Top with remaining batter, smoothing the surface.
- Bake to Perfection: Bake for 20-25 minutes, until edges are set and a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
- Cool & Finish: Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then lift out with parchment. Drizzle with ganache and sprinkle with almonds.
- Final Cooling: Let cool completely before cutting into 12 squares.
Notes
For a richer flavor, use high-quality dark chocolate and full-fat Greek yogurt. Don’t overbake to maintain a fudgy texture.
