Frequently Asked Questions (Q&A)

Q: Are these really zero carb?

A: No. Greek yogurt and cocoa powder contain small amounts of carbohydrates. They are low-carb rather than truly zero-carb.

Q: Can I use regular yogurt?

A: Greek yogurt is recommended because it is thicker and higher in protein. Regular yogurt may make the brownies too soft.

Q: Can I make them keto?

A: Yes. Use full-fat Greek yogurt and a keto-friendly sweetener such as monk fruit or erythritol.

Q: Can I skip the eggs?

A: Eggs help provide structure. Egg substitutes may change the texture significantly.

Q: Why are my brownies too wet?

A: They may need additional baking time or more cooling time. These brownies become firmer as they cool.

Q: Can I add chocolate chips?

A: Yes, use sugar-free chocolate chips for a lower-carb version.

Q: Can I use almond flour?

A: Yes. Add 2–4 tablespoons if you’d like a firmer brownie texture.

Q: How do I get extra fudgy brownies?

A: Slightly underbake them and chill before serving.
