Ingredients
  

1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 cup whole wheat flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup honey or maple syrup

1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plain, non-fat)

1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (optional, for a richer taste)

1/4 cup chopped nuts (such as walnuts or almonds, optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, sift together the unsweetened cocoa powder, whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), applesauce, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well-combined.

        Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay!

          Fold in Additions: If desired, fold in dark chocolate chips and/or nuts for added texture and flavor.

            Pour Batter into Pan: Spread the brownie batter evenly into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

              Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean (a few moist crumbs are fine).

                Cool and Slice: Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cool, slice into squares.

                  Serve and Enjoy: These guilt-free brownies can be enjoyed on their own or with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for an extra indulgence!
