Servings: 12
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup plain whole milk greek yogurt
- ½ cup pure maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ¼ cup unsalted butter melted and slightly cooled
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips divided
Instructions
- Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside.
- In another bowl, whisk together the greek yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Whisk in the eggs.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir until just combined (do not over mix).
- Fold in ¾ cup of the mini chocolate chips using a rubber spatula.
- Line an 8 by 8 baking dish with parchment paper. Leave enough overhang on the sides to be able to pull the cake out when it is done.
- Pour the batter into the parchment paper lined pan. Top the batter with the remaining ¼ cup of mini chocolate chips.
- Bake the chocolate snack cake 350 degrees for 28-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool 10 minutes in the pan, then remove it by pulling the parchment paper out. Cool the cake for an additional 10-20 minutes on a cooling rack, then cut it into 12 squares.
