No flour. No refined sugar. High protein. Ultra fudgy.
Your new healthy-but-sinful dessert

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Bake Time: 25–30 minutes
Servings: 6–8

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (thick, full-fat or low-fat)

  • 2 large eggs

  • ¼ cup black cocoa powder (or regular cocoa)

  • 3 tbsp chia seeds

  • ¼ cup maple syrup (more for sweeter cake)

  • 1 tsp vanilla

  • ½ tsp baking powder

  • Pinch of salt

‍ Instructions

1. Prep the Chia Trick (The Secret to Fudgy Texture!)

Mix chia seeds with 3 tbsp water and let them bloom for 5 minutes.
This creates a gel that makes the cake moist and fudgy — no flour needed.

2. Make the Batter

In a bowl, whisk together:
✔ Greek yogurt
✔ eggs
✔ maple syrup
✔ vanilla
✔ the chia gel

Add cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
Mix until smooth and chocolatey.

3. Bake

Pour into a small loaf pan or 6-inch round pan lined with parchment.
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25–30 minutes.
Center should be set but slightly soft — like a healthy brownie.

4. Cool & Serve

Let cool 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve with:

  • fresh berries

  • a drizzle of maple syrup

  • yogurt or whipped cream

  • shaved dark chocolate

Variations

✨ Add 2 tbsp chocolate chips for extra decadence
✨ Use honey instead of maple
✨ Add a pinch of espresso for deeper chocolate flavor
✨ Make it keto by replacing maple syrup with a sugar-free
