Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

Add the egg whites to the wet ingredients and whisk until the mixture is frothy. Then fold in the non-fat Greek yogurt until smooth.

Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing gently until there are no visible streaks of flour. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Stir in the mini dark chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
