You guyyysssssssss. I just made “healthy” (okay, “healthier”) brownies and they turned out to be the best brownies I’ve ever made! I’m not even joking! They’re so so good and I devoured 1/4 of the pan the moment it cooled down enough to eat.
What’s the secret? The Greek Gods® Greek Yogurt, of course! I used traditional plain in mine, and I can see it being very versatile in other recipes as well. Sub it for a sour cream dip, whip it up with some sugar to make frosting, add a cup in cake mix to keep it soft… there’s a lot you can do. Their yogurts are made from milk from cows that are not treated with growth hormones, so you can trust that you’re using the good stuff.
It’s deliciously creamy and tart. It’s a great base to make a yogurt bowl (that’s how I eat it!). I add a bit of honey, granola, chia seeds, and fruit on top for breakfast in the morning.
The batter will seem very dry at first, but once you get it incorporated, it will be smoother than smooth. See for yourself:
Once it’s baked, wait completely until it’s cooled before you cut! That’s really important. I didn’t wait completely, so it stuck to the knife quite a bit. 
The texture of these brownies are gummy and gooey. It’s like the center of a pan of regular brownies if you undercook it just a bit. That’s my favorite part of a regular brownie!
Another note: Don’t stack your brownies without using wax paper in between. They’ll stick to each other because of how gooey they are.
