Healthier Chocolate Brownies Made with Yogurt

Orit M



These brownies are healthy because all the fat comes from yogurt. Also, there is extra protein because of the yogurt. Last but not least they are fudgy and delicious and in our opinion the perfect sweetness. If you prefer them a little sweeter then add a simple glaze of equal ratios cocoa, sugar and boiling water (to dissolve the cocoa). Enjoy!


 

So good, especially with great company on a cloudy day - Orit
