I like to sprinkle more salt on the top! With the ingredients I used, each brownie was about 40 calories!

Step-by-step
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Grease a square baking dish (I used 8?x8?).
- Combine all ingredients into a food processor or a blender, and blend until smooth (about 1 minute).
- Pour into the prepared dish and bake for about 15 minutes.
- Allow to cool completely before cutting into 9 large squares.
Bakers frequently err by under-blending the batter, leaving coarse fragments of rolled oats that prevent the mixture from setting into a cohesive crumb. Achieving a smooth consistency requires running the machine for a full sixty seconds until the oats break down completely into a uniform paste. Without this thorough processing, the baked square retains a gritty texture and crumbles upon cutting.
Substitutions involving dairy-heavy bases like nonfat Greek yogurt behave differently in the oven than traditional fat-and-flour emulsions. Dairy solids and egg proteins coagulate rapidly at high heat, which explains why the oven temperature sits at 400 degrees Fahrenheit rather than a standard 350. Monitoring the edges for a matte appearance provides the primary visual cue that baking is complete.
Allowing the pan to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing is non-negotiable for structural integrity. Warm protein-based baked goods lack internal moisture stability and will tear if partitioned immediately. Once chilled entirely, dividing the pan into nine equal squares yields neat portions.
Storing the leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator extends their shelf life for up to four days. Condensation management matters significantly with high-yogurt contents, so placing a paper towel inside the storage container prevents excess moisture from softening the exterior crust.
