Ingredients & Substitutions for Healthy S’mores Brownies
All purpose flour – This is the main dry ingredient, you could sub equal parts for spelt flour, oat flour or even gluten free flour
Cocoa Powder – ESSENTIAL for that brownie look and intense chocolate flavour!
Sugar free granulated sweetener- Like stevia or natvia. You can replace with equal parts normal sugar- I use Natvia
Baking Soda- No Baking Powder needed- Baking Soda helps the Brownies to lift slightly and have some cakey texture to it. However do not over-do it as we still want a fudgy end result. I find that using baking powder ensures a cakier result which I am not the biggest fan of.
Salt- Just a pinch, for flavour
Egg- Typical emulsifier for fudgy brownies, if you want to keep this recipe egg free, sub for extra 70g yogurt or applesauce and add 1/4 tsp baking powder or baking soda
Yogurt– Essential in healthy brownie recipes as it adds moisture and ensures a super fudgy result. I use a Vanilla flavoured high protein yogurt. You could use a plant-based yogurt to keep it dairy free or vegan.
Plant Milk- Can use any sort of liquid or milk
Sugar Free Milk Chocolate- I prefer to use block chocolate over chocolate chips as they melt way better. I like to use a mix of sugar free milk chocolate and dark chocolate. If you do not want to use sugar free chocolate you can use normal chocolate.
Sugar Free Mini Marshmallows- You can use normal marshmallows and just chop them up, or even normal mini marshmallows, they do not need to be sugar free.
Biscuit- Just one will do, I use a biscoff Biscuit but you can use any you like
Tips
Cooking tips
- Use room temperature ingredients: This helps prevents air bubbles in the batter, ensuring a smoother batter. This is because the colder the ingredients are the more lumps that form, resulting in excess mixing and more air bubbles
- Bloom the cocoa powder: This is done by mixing the cocoa powder in the warm yogurt and milk mix. This helps to intensify the chocolate flavor by releasing flavor that is trapped in the solid particles
- Tap the brownie pan on your countertop before baking: This will pop any large air bubbles in the batter
- Leave to cool: Leaving the brownies to cool completely helps to further cook the batter without overcooking it in the oven. It also helps ensure the brownies cut better.
Storage
These brownies last 3 to 4 days in an airtight container at room temperature and up to a week in the refrigerator.
FAQ
Can I make it gluten free?
You can, just substitute equal parts oat flour or a gluten free flour mix.
What kind of yogurt should I use?
I always recommend a higher protein option, the one I use is Yopro High Protein Vanilla Greek yogurt, but I would also recommend Chobani or even Chobani Fit for extra added protein.
What zero calorie sweetener do you recommend?
My go to is Natvia, an Australian brand, ive been using it for years and it is my absolute go to. However you could use any natural sweetener, such as; Lakanto Monkfruit (also I brand I use frequently), or even just plain old Stevia. Feel free to use ANY granulated sweetener you like, normal white sugar, brown sugar, etc.
What Sugar Free Chocolate do you recommend?
My absolute go to is the Lindt No Sugar Milk Chocolate. It melts so well in any baking recipe, it is by far the best sugar free chocolate I have used.
