Help with Greek Yogurt Brownies!
This is a guest post from Kirbie's Cravings.
After successfully making the fudgy chocolate cake using Greek yogurt and fudgy chocolate cookies, I wanted to try making a healthier brownie using Greek yogurt.This actually is not one of those posts where I excitedly tell you about my new finding. I made a few versions of the brownies, trying to play around with the ratio of ingredients, but unfortunately, I haven’t gotten a version I’m completely satisfied with.
Don’t get me wrong. These are edible. But they don’t taste as good as regular brownies, and have a slightly sour sweet aftertaste I’m not fond of. When I tried changing the ratio of yogurt and water, I ended up with a really rubbery version.
So this is more one of those posts where I’m asking if anyone has any ideas or has successfully accomplished a greek yogurt substitute in brownie mix. This version is okay. It’s fudgy, chocolatey, but has a little bit of a sour aftertaste. FH didn’t even really notice so maybe I’m just more sensitive to the taste. Maybe next time I’ll add an egg to give it a little bit of fat.

Do you know of any brownie recipes that call for sour cream? Now, I haven't heard of any such recipes, but if any exist, I would imagine that you could substitute yogurt for the sour cream in those recipes.
I wouldn't think it to be too hard. IF you made it from scratch instead of making it from a box :/ This doesn't even have chocolate in it? So how can it be a brownie...
I find that adding salt to my greek yogurt cuts off a lot of the sourness
The texture is fine right? So you just need to change the flavor a bit. I would try putting half a teaspoon of salt into it because salt is used to counteract acidity in regular food. And MAYBE adding more sugar, or adding melted chocolate (but that'll probably change the texture.) Changing the water/yogurt amounts would only ever change the texture.
