Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (full-fat recommended)
- 3/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free version)
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup chocolate chips (milk, dark, or white chocolate)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven and prepare the pan: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make removal easier.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Combining these helps evenly distribute the leavening agent throughout.
- Incorporate wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, blend the Greek yogurt, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth to create a moist and rich base for the brownies.
- Combine wet and dry mixtures: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture, folding gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the brownies tender and fudgy.
- Fold in the chocolate chips: Stir in the chocolate chips to ensure melty pockets of chocolate throughout. Optionally, reserve some to sprinkle on top for an extra chocolatey surface.
- Bake to perfection: Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading evenly. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs, ensuring moist and fudgy brownies.
- Cool and enjoy: Let the brownies cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing. This resting time helps the brownies set for clean, neat slices.
Notes
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt for better moisture and texture.
- Don’t overbake; remove when toothpick shows moist crumbs to keep fudginess.
- Bring eggs and yogurt to room temperature for a smoother batter and better rise.
- Line your pan with parchment paper to ease cleanup and allow easy removal.
- Customize chocolate chips by mixing milk, dark, or white chocolate varieties.
