Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (full-fat recommended)
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free version)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Optional Mix-ins

  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (dark or semi-sweet)
  • 1/4 cup dried fruit
  • 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder (for mocha infusion)
  • Swirls of raspberry jam or caramel sauce

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease your baking pan. Measure all ingredients precisely to ensure the perfect brownie texture.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt to eliminate lumps and evenly distribute the leavening agents.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the Greek yogurt and vanilla extract, stirring until fully combined and smooth.
  4. Blend Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, being gentle to preserve airiness but thorough enough to avoid any streaks of flour.
  5. Add Optional Mix-Ins: Gently fold in your choice of nuts, chocolate chips, or any other additions for extra texture and flavor.
  6. Bake to Perfection: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan to firm up the fudgy texture before slicing, ensuring a melt-in-your-mouth experience.

Notes

  • Use full-fat Greek yogurt to add richness and moisture without extra oils.
  • Don’t overmix the batter to prevent tough brownies.
  • Check for doneness starting at 25 minutes to avoid drying out the brownies.
  • Use room temperature eggs for a smoother batter.
  • Allow brownies to rest before cutting to set properly and slice cleanly.
