On a recent trip to Costco, I was lured in by the smell of freshly baked brownie samples - and one bite was all it took. Deep, chocolatey, and packed with melty chocolate chips, it reminded me just how good brownies can be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1752\" src=\"https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Ghirardelli-Chocolate-Brownies-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-skip-lazy class=\"wp-image-44916\" title=\"Slimming Eats Ghirardelli Chocolate Brownie -  Slimming Eats and Weight Watchers friendly\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Ghirardelli-Chocolate-Brownies-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Ghirardelli-Chocolate-Brownies-1-205x300.jpg 205w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Ghirardelli-Chocolate-Brownies-1-768x1121.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Ghirardelli-Chocolate-Brownies-1-1052x1536.jpg 1052w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Ghirardelli-Chocolate-Brownies-1-720x1051.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Ghirardelli-Chocolate-Brownies-1-360x526.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Ghirardelli-Chocolate-Brownies-1-180x263.jpg 180w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Ghirardelli-Chocolate-Brownies-1-560x818.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Ghirardelli-Chocolate-Brownies-1-150x219.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>So of course I picked up a box of the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3EDuxRs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">Ghirardelli Chocolate Brownie Mix<\/a><\/strong> and couldn't wait to get home and try a lighter twist I used to make - swapping the oil for <strong>fat free yoghurt<\/strong>.

Instead of using oil as the box mix suggests, simply replace it with <strong>fat free Greek yoghurt<\/strong> - using <strong>the same amount<\/strong>. So if the recipe calls for <strong>\u2153 cup of oil<\/strong>, use <strong>\u2153 cup of yoghurt<\/strong> instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The result is just as delicious - packed with <strong>three types of chocolate chips<\/strong>, no extra eggs, and none of that artificial sweetener aftertaste you often get with low-fat bakes. These are proper, indulgent brownies with a lighter, clever twist. One bag of mix makes <strong>16 small squares<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 id=\"what-to-serve-with-brownies\"   class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What to Serve with Brownies<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>These rich, chocolatey brownies are delicious on their own, but even better when paired with something extra.

I love defrosted frozen blueberries as they go soft and sauce-like.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Banana Slices<\/strong> - A naturally sweet, simple pairing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>A Dollop of Light Aerosol Cream<\/strong> - For a soft, fluffy finish.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>A Few Crushed Walnuts or Pecans<\/strong> - Adds a little crunch and richness.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>A Scoop of Low Calorie Ice Cream<\/strong> - Cold, creamy and perfect against a warm brownie.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Feel free to mix and match your toppings to suit your mood or occasion.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 id=\"more-desserts-and-cakes\"   class=\"wp-block-heading\">More Desserts and Cakes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking for some more low calorie treats?

these brownies freeze really well!

If you prefer, you can let them defrost at room temperature, but they're honestly lovely slightly warm - especially with a dollop of yoghurt or a scoop of ice cream.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1744930315565\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I use any brownie mix?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">This recipe has only been tested with the <strong>Ghirardelli Chocolate Brownie Mix<\/strong>.
