If you have a sweet tooth and you’re looking for a protein-packed dessert that won’t derail your health goals, this healthy brownie batter dip with Greek yogurt is what you need! It’s super flavorful but also packed with protein to keep you satisfied for hours. It uses just FOUR simple ingredients and bonus: it uses absolutely no cream cheese!
If you’re a fan of sweet dips, this is a must try!
Why You’ll Love This Healthy Brownie Batter Dip
Don’t get me wrong, I love fruit by itself too, but sometimes you just need a little something more when it comes to fun snacks or healthy dessert options. And this creamy brownie batter dip is what you’re missing!
It has a rich chocolate flavor that mimics brownie batter, but it’s a little lighter and has a more creamy texture since it uses Greek yogurt. Plus, there’s no raw eggs or raw flour in this edible brownie batter, so no chance of food poisoning!
Since this creamy brownie batter dip uses Greek yogurt instead of the traditional cream cheese, you end up getting 13 grams of protein per serving. Protein helps to promote balanced blood sugar levels, which is essential if you have PCOS, insulin resistance, or you’re just trying to be more health conscious. It also keeps you feeling full for longer periods of time to help ward off cravings.
Another perk of this amazing recipe is that the Greek yogurt adds a bunch of gut-healthy probiotics into your diet. Sneaking Greek yogurt into other foods, like this dip, is a great option if you’re not typically a yogurt fan because you don’t even notice the yogurt-like taste!
Ingredients for Brownie Batter Dip with Greek Yogurt
Here’s what you’ll need to make this healthy brownie batter dip with Greek yogurt:
- Greek yogurt – I used full-fat plain Greek yogurt for this recipe, but you could always substitute low-fat, fat-free, or even vanilla flavored Greek yogurt too. This provides the base of your dip, adding protein, probiotics, calcium, and vitamin D.
- Cacao powder – brownie batter dip wouldn’t be complete without that chocolatey flavor, obviously! I used unsweetened cocoa powder since we’ll be using some maple syrup to sweeten things up. Plus, bonus: 2 grams of fiber per tablespoon!
- Maple syrup – this provides some natural sweetness to this dip. You can easily substitute this for honey, agave, monkfruit, or your favorite sweetener.
- Vanilla extract – using vanilla extract really elevates the flavor profile and adds dimension to this dip.
How To Make It
This recipe is so easy to make! All you’re going to do is pour all of the ingredients into a large mixing bowl, then mix using a spoon until it’s well combined.
Feel free to add some mini chocolate chips if you want a little bit of texture in there too!
Tip: if you want a really fluffy texture, use a hand mixer to mix all the ingredients together!
How To Serve It
You can use a variety of dippers with this healthy dip – the possibilities are endless!
I like to serve this brownie batter dip with fresh fruit, since fruit will give me some extra fiber and antioxidants for health and satiety. Apple slices, strawberries, pear slices or your favorite fruit are great for dipping in this no bake dessert dip! You could also use graham crackers or a whole grain cracker if that’s more your jam!
How To Store It
This recipe makes two servings. You can store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days in the refrigerator.
Substitutions & Variations
- No Greek yogurt? Substitute for cottage cheese instead – but you’ll probably want to use a food processor or high speed blender to get a smooth consistency
- Use honey, agave syrup, monk fruit sweetener, or your favorite sweetener instead of maple syrup
- Want more flavor and blood-sugar balancing capabilities? Sprinkle some cinnamon on top of your brownie batter dip!
- Stir in some peanut butter, almond butter, cashew butter, sunflower seed butter or cool whip if you want a thicker dip
- Increase the protein by adding a chocolate protein powder to the mix. You may need to add a little almond milk to get the consistency right.
- Top with dark chocolate chips. These ones are my favorite!

Made a few adjustments due to lack of ingredients. Used 1/2 cup of regular yogurt, 2 tbsp of peanut butter powder and topped with a little granola 😋 Everything else the same. Thank you for the recipe 😃
