- 12 ounces bittersweet or semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided
- 1/2 cup butter
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons strong brewed coffee
- 1/2 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup flour plus 2 tablespoons
- 1/4 cup Kretschmer Original Toasted Wheat Germ
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
- 3 tablespoons good-quality caramel sauce
Preheat oven to 350° F. Line a 9 x 13-inch baking pan with foil, leaving at least a 1-inch overhang for lifting out baked brownies. Place 8 ounces chocolate chips and butter in microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until completely melted. Set aside.
In separate large bowl, combine eggs, coffee, yogurt, sugar and vanilla; stir until well mixed. Slowly stir in melted chocolate and butter until combined.
In medium bowl, combine flour, wheat germ, baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add to chocolate mixture until just combined. Stir the remaining 4 ounces of chocolate chips into mixture.
Pour batter into prepared baking pan. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out almost clean.
Remove from oven and cool completely. Drizzle 3 tablespoons caramel and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt over brownies. To serve, place brownies in the freezer for 30 to 60 minutes. Remove and cut into 24 squares.
