FAQs

Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?

Greek yogurt is thicker and creamier, making it ideal for this recipe. However, you can substitute regular yogurt, but the texture may be slightly different.

Can I use a different type of flour?

Yes, you can substitute almond flour with coconut flour, but use less coconut flour (about 3-4 tablespoons) as it absorbs more moisture than almond flour.

Is this recipe keto-friendly?

Yes, this recipe is keto-friendly, as it contains no added sugars or high-carb ingredients. The almond flour and sugar-free sweeteners keep the carb count low.

Can I use regular sugar instead of a sugar-free sweetener?

Yes, you can use regular sugar, but this will increase the carb count and make the recipe no longer sugar-free. You may also need to adjust the amount based on your desired sweetness level.

Can I add protein powder to this recipe?

Yes, you can add a scoop of protein powder (preferably chocolate or unflavored) to boost the protein content. Just reduce the amount of almond flour to maintain the right consistency.

Can I make this recipe dairy-free?

Yes, use a dairy-free yogurt and dairy-free chocolate chips to make this recipe completely dairy-free.

How can I make these brownies more fudge-like?

To make the brownies more fudgy, reduce the baking time slightly and keep an eye on them during the last few minutes of baking. The brownies should remain slightly soft in the center when they are done.

Can I freeze these brownies?

Yes, you can freeze these brownies for up to 2-3 months. Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or store them in an airtight container. Thaw before serving.

How do I know when the brownies are done?

The brownies are done when the edges begin to pull away from the sides of the pan, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few crumbs attached.

Can I use another type of sweetener besides erythritol or monk fruit?

Yes, feel free to use any zero-calorie sweetener you prefer, like stevia or a sweetener blend, but be sure to adjust the quantity based on the sweetness of the alternative.
