Healthy Marble Greek Yogurt Brownie recipe. Easy to make, this dessert idea is nut free and kid friendly.
I have suddenly gone on a Greek yogurt kick. You can do so much with it: healthier cheesecake, delicious smoothies, and now I present you the marble Greek yogurt brownie.
Seriously, everywhere I use cream cheese I now use Greek yogurt. Heck, I may even start putting it on my bagels!
Hmmm.. too far? No, I think I’ll just stick to replacing it in my baking. For now..
The Greek yogurt swirl in these brownies is more chewy than fudgy, giving it a very interesting texture when mixed with the brownies. I was afraid it wouldn’t go well together, but my husband thought otherwise. He gobbled the entire batch in under 2 days!
Now that’s what I would call a success!
What do you need to make these Marble Greek Yogurt Brownie?
This recipe surprisingly doesn’t use too many ingredients. All you need is:
- butter
- dark chocolate
- eggs

Storing this Marble Greek Yogurt Brownie
Since this brownie recipe is made with yogurt, you will need to store these brownies in an airtight container in the fridge. They will be good in the fridge for up to 1 week, but good luck keeping them in there that long!
You can also freeze the cooled brownies for up to 3 months. To defrost, place in the fridge!

Ingredients
Brownies
- 3/4 cup salted butter, softened
- 2 oz dark chocolate
- 2 large eggs

- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
Swirl
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt

- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Line a square 8×8 baking pan with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray.
- Melt the butter and chocolate in a saucepan over low heat, stiring occasionally. Once melted, turn off heat and whisk in the cocoa until fully combined.
- Beat in the eggs, banana, sugar, vanilla and flour until fully incorporated. Pour into the prepared pan.
- In a small bowl, mix together the yogurt, honey and vanilla. Spoon the mixture on top of the brownie batter, and using a butter knife, swirl the yogurt mixture into the brownie batter.
- Bake for around 1 hour or until the edges are set. Remove from the oven and let cool for 1 hour before transferring to the fridge to set.
Brownies look cute with the marbled effect!
These brownies look very cool! Love Greek yogurt as well but find it expensive. A couple years back I learned it's just plain yogurt with less water content. Now I make my own…it's really easy. I've posted the steps on my blog. Here's the link if you're interested: http://www.cookapalooza.org/2011/12/make-your-own-greek-yogurt-on-cheap.html
