Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
 
 

  • 1/2 cup unsweetened Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup nut butter peanut or almond
  • 1/3 cup granulated sweetener erythritol or monk fruit blend
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup chocolate protein powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips optional

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, nut butter, sweetener, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Add cocoa powder, protein powder, baking powder, and salt. Mix just until combined—do not overmix.
  4. Fold in chocolate chips, if using.
  5. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
  6. Bake for 18–22 minutes, until the edges are set but the center is still slightly soft.
  7. Let cool completely before slicing for the fudgiest texture.

Notes

Texture Tips:
  • Extra gooey: Bake for 18 minutes and chill before slicing.
  • More cake-like: Bake 22–24 minutes.
Protein Powder Matters:
  • Whey (especially vanilla): softer, fudgier texture
  • Plant-based: slightly drier, may need 1–2 tbsp extra yogurt
