Ingredients
Brownie Batter
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
Toppings
- 1 cup Greek yogurt, plain or vanilla
- 1 cup mixed berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries)
Instructions
- Prepare Brownie Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine melted butter and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in vanilla extract. Sift together cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder, and gradually fold into the wet ingredients until just combined.

- Add Toppings: Once the mini brownies are cooled, top each with a dollop of Greek yogurt. Arrange mixed berries on top of the yogurt for a fresh and colorful finish. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to enjoy.
