Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (120 g)
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (75 g), preferably Dutch-processed
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (200 g)
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup full-fat Greek yogurt (120 g), preferably Fage or Chobani
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (113 g), melted and slightly cooled
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips or chunks (90 g) (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your 8×8-inch pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until no lumps remain.
  3. In another bowl, whisk the sugar and eggs until smooth and slightly pale, about 2 minutes. Add the Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Stir gently to combine.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in two parts, folding carefully with a spatula. Avoid overmixing; a few streaks of flour are okay.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips or chunks if using.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Tap the pan lightly on the counter to release air bubbles.
  7. Bake for 25–30 minutes. Start checking at 25 minutes by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out with moist crumbs but not wet batter.
  8. Cool the brownies completely in the pan on a cooling rack for at least 1 hour before cutting.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for better blending. Avoid overmixing to keep brownies fudgy, not cakey. Start checking for doneness at 25 minutes using the toothpick test to maintain gooey centers. Let brownies cool completely before cutting to preserve texture. For dairy-free, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt and butter with coconut oil. For gluten-free, use a 1:1 gluten-free baking flour blend.
