- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1 egg room temp
- 200 g yogurt room temp, vanilla or plain
- 1/2 tsp vanilla

- 80 g sugar free milk chocolate 40g melted into batter, 40g chopped and mixed into batter

- Melt chocolate over a double boiler or in microwave in 30 second intervals
- Whisk egg, vanilla and sugar until well combined
- Microwave the yogurt and almond milk for 30 seconds, add the cocoa powder and mix well, let sit for a couple of minutes- this is not essential however it helps to bloom the cocoa powder which helps to intensify the chocolate flavor by releasing flavor that is trapped in the solid particles. OR can just mix the yogurt, and almond milk into the egg and sugar mixture

- Add the cocoa and yogurt mixture and mix well
- Sift the rest of the dry ingredients, and fold in chopped chocolate
- Once well combined, add the batter to a lined brownie pan

- Let the brownies cool down in the pan before cutting into 12 slices
