Ingredients
  

For the Brownies
  • 1/4 cup Oat flour or almond flour
  • 1/4 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Sea salt
  • 4 oz Semisweet chocolate chopped
  • 2 Tablespoons Salted butter or coconut oil, melted
  • 1/2 cup Granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup Vanilla Greek yogurt
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup Chocolate chips
Chocolate Ganache
  • 4 ounces Semisweet chocolate chopped
  • 1/2 cup Heavy cream or coconut cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Equipment

  • 9x9 inch baking pan
  • Small bowl
  • Saucepan
  • Wire rack

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (177 degrees Celsius). Grease a 9x9 inch baking pan and set it aside.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the oat flour, cocoa powder, and sea salt. Set this mixture aside.
  3. Melt the semisweet chocolate and butter (or coconut oil) together. You can do this in the microwave. Stir until completely melted and smooth.
  4. Whisk in the granulated sugar, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and eggs until the mixture is smooth.
  5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and whisk until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  7. Pour the batter into your prepared baking pan. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. The brownies are done when the top is barely set and the edges are starting to pull away from the sides of the pan. For gooier brownies, bake for 20 minutes.
  8. Once baked, place the pan on a wire rack to cool.
  9. While the brownies are baking, prepare the ganache. Add the heavy cream to a small saucepan and warm it over medium-high heat until it just begins to bubble. Be careful not to let it boil.
  10. Turn off the heat. Add the chopped semisweet chocolate and vanilla extract to the warm cream. Whisk until the mixture is dark and smooth.
  11. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the ganache cool slightly. It will thicken as it cools.
  12. Once the ganache has cooled slightly, pour it evenly over the cooling brownies.
  13. Allow the ganache to firm up at room temperature. If you want to speed up the process, you can place the pan in the refrigerator.
  14. Once the ganache is set, you can remove the brownies from the refrigerator. Cut them into squares and serve at room temperature, or serve them chilled.

Notes

Store any leftover brownies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 5-7 days. These brownies often taste even better the day after they are made and refrigerated. To freeze, place brownies in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until firm. Then, transfer them to an airtight container and freeze for up to two months. Thaw at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
