Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt, room temperature
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 1 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it to ensure easy removal of the brownies later.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined. This ensures an even distribution of leavening and flavor.
  3. Combine the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, beat the eggs thoroughly. Then add the Greek yogurt, sugar, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth and creamy. The Greek yogurt will add a lovely tang and moisture that sets these brownies apart.
  4. Incorporate Dry Ingredients Gradually: Slowly fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring just until no flour streaks remain. Overmixing can make the brownies tough, so gentle folding is key.
  5. Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in a generous amount of semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips, making sure they’re evenly spread throughout the batter for pockets of melty chocolate.
  6. Bake Until Set: Pour the batter into your prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs. This will keep the brownies fudgy, not cakey.
  7. Cool Before Serving: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing. This step helps them set perfectly, ensuring clean cuts and a moist texture inside.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs and Greek yogurt for smoother mixing and better texture.
  • Check brownies early to avoid overbaking; they should be slightly gooey in the center.
  • Use good quality natural or Dutch-processed cocoa powder depending on your flavor preference.
  • Let batter rest 10-15 minutes before baking to improve texture and chocolate chip distribution.
  • Adjust sugar to taste, especially if using sweeter chocolate chips.
  • Try variations like adding nuts, peanut butter swirls, berries, or spices for unique flavors.
  • For vegan version, replace eggs with flaxseed meal mixed with water and use plant-based Greek-style yogurt.
