Guiltless Chocolate!  You no longer need to feel guilty about indulging in chocolate a few times a week.   A key reason, dark chocolate!  It has so many health benefits and it is rich in flavonoids, which are naturally occurring substances found in plants that can provide a serious boost in antioxidants. When choosing a dark chocolate, aim for 70% cocoa and above!  To learn more click here.

Healthy One-Bowl Chocolate Chunk Brownies

  • 1 tbsp (14g) unsalted butter or coconut oil, melted and cooled slightly
  • 2 large egg whites, room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ cup (60g) plain nonfat Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup (96g) coconut sugar
  • 6 tbsp (90mL) nonfat milk
  • ¾ cup (60g) unsweetened cocoa powder (measured like this)
  • ¼ tsp baking powder
  • ¾ cup (90g) white whole wheat flour or gluten-free* flour (measured like this)
  • 3 tbsp (42g) finely chopped dark chocolate
  1. Preheat the oven to 300°F, and lightly coat an 8”-square baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the butter, egg whites, vanilla, and salt. Stir in the Greek yogurt, mixing until no large lumps remain. Stir in the coconut sugar. Stir in the milk. Add in the cocoa powder and baking powder, stirring just until incorporated. Stir in the flour until just incorporated. Gently fold in 2 ½ tablespoons of the chopped dark chocolate.
  3. Spread the batter into the prepared pan, and gently press the remaining chopped dark chocolate into the top. Bake at 300°F for 15-19 minutes (15 minutes yields the fudgiest brownies; 19 minutes yields slightly cakier brownies). Cool completely to room temperature in the pan, and let the brownies sit for at least 6 hours at room temperature for the fudgiest texture before serving.
