Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the low-fat Greek yogurt, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Mix until smooth.
