Notes
- You can substitute nonfat Greek yogurt with regular yogurt or dairy-free yogurt if preferred.
- Adding a pinch of salt can help enhance the chocolate flavor.
- For added texture, you can top with nuts or seeds before baking.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding a natural sweetener like honey or maple syrup if desired.
- If you don’t have chocolate protein powder, vanilla or unflavored protein powder can be used instead.
