Ingredients

• 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup low-fat plain Greek yogurt
• 0.5 cup honey
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 large egg
• 0.5 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring some overhang on the sides for easy removal of the fudge bars later.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, sift together the unsweetened cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix well and set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the low-fat Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, and egg until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined to form a thick batter.

Step 5

Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips with a spatula, spreading the chips evenly throughout the batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are firm and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Step 8

Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and let the fudge bars cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.

Step 9

Using the parchment paper overhang, lift the bars out of the pan and place them on a wire rack to cool completely before cutting into 12 equal bars.

Step 10

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
