How to Make Greek Yogurt Chocolate Banana Brownie Bites

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Line a mini muffin tin with liners or lightly grease it. These bites are moist, so proper prep helps them release easily.

Step 2: Mash the Banana

In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe banana until mostly smooth. A few small lumps are fine—they add texture.

The riper the banana, the sweeter your brownie bites will be.

Step 3: Add Wet Ingredients

Add:

  • Greek yogurt
  • Egg
  • Honey (or maple syrup)

Whisk until smooth and creamy.

Step 4: Add Dry Ingredients

Stir in cocoa powder and oat flour until just combined.

The batter should look glossy and thick—almost like traditional brownie batter.

Step 5: Fold in Chocolate Chips

Gently fold in dark chocolate chips.

For extra crackle and sparkle, sprinkle a few on top before baking.

Step 6: Fill the Muffin Tin

Spoon the batter into mini muffin cups, filling about ¾ full.

Step 7: Bake

Bake for 10–12 minutes.

The tops should look slightly shiny and crackled. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out with a few moist crumbs—but not wet batter.

Step 8: Cool

Let them cool in the pan for 5–10 minutes before transferring to a rack.

They firm up as they cool—patience pays off here.

What to Serve with Brownie Bites

These mini treats shine on their own, but here are some cozy pairings:

  • With espresso or coffee
  • Alongside fresh berries
  • With a spoonful of Greek yogurt
  • Drizzled with melted dark chocolate

For a wholesome dessert board, pair them with my Healthy Chocolate Avocado Mousse and Strawberry Chia Pudding for balance.

Tips for Perfect Crackled Tops

  • Whisk the egg thoroughly with sweetener before adding dry ingredients
  • Don’t overmix once flour is added
  • Use good-quality cocoa powder
  • Slightly underbake for fudgy texture
  • Let them cool fully before removing

For extra shine, use honey instead of maple syrup.

Storage Instructions

Room Temperature

Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.

Refrigerator

Keep for up to 5 days. They become slightly denser and fudgier.

Freezer

Freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature or warm for 10–15 seconds in the microwave.

They’re delicious slightly chilled, too.

General Information

Mini brownie bites have become popular for portion control and meal prep convenience. Using Greek yogurt instead of butter reduces fat while keeping moisture. Oat flour keeps them gluten-friendly (if using certified gluten-free oats).

And that crackled top? That’s the result of sugar and egg proteins setting beautifully during baking—yes, even in lighter recipes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use regular flour instead of oat flour?

Yes, all-purpose flour works as a 1:1 substitute.

Can I make them dairy-free?

Use dairy-free yogurt alternatives.

Why didn’t my tops crackle?

Be sure to whisk egg and sweetener well before adding dry ingredients.

Can I double the recipe?

Absolutely! Use a standard muffin tin for larger brownie bites and bake 15–18 minutes.

Are these very sweet?

They’re mildly sweet and rich. Add an extra teaspoon honey if you prefer sweeter brownies.

Conclusion

These Greek Yogurt Chocolate Banana Brownie Bites with Crackled Tops are everything I love about modern baking—lighter ingredients, deep chocolate flavor, and beautiful texture.
