1 tsp Pure vanilla extract

Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prep Oven & Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or spray lightly with non-stick cooking spray.
2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, eggs, and vanilla extract until completely smooth and creamy.
3. Whisk Dry Ingredients: Stir in the zero-calorie sweetener, unsweetened cocoa powder, and baking powder. Mix well until a thick, glossy batter forms with no remaining dry spots.
4. Transfer & Top: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle optional chopped walnuts or sugar-free chocolate chips over top if desired.
5. Bake: Bake for 22 to 26 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
6. Chill & Slice: Cool completely in the pan at room temperature, then place in the fridge for 30 minutes to firm up before cutting into squares!
Chef’s Tips
Chill for the Best Texture: Flourless brownies set up best after cooling down completely in the refrigerator.
Use Quality Cocoa: Dutch-processed cocoa powder yields a smoother, richer chocolate taste without any harsh acidity.
