Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup plain, full-fat Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3/4 cup dark brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8 inch baking pan to prevent the brownies from sticking.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk the 3 large eggs, 1 cup of Greek yogurt, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract together until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 3/4 cup dark brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt to ensure even distribution and to avoid clumps.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, gently stirring until just combined to avoid overmixing, which can toughen the brownies.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in optional 1/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter for added texture and flavor.
- Pour and Spread Batter: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out smoothly with a spatula to ensure uniform baking.
- Bake: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs, indicating fudgy brownies.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares and serving for best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt for the best moist texture and rich flavor.
- Do not overbake; brownies will be fudgy and slightly moist inside.
- Optional chocolate chips add extra richness but can be omitted.
- These brownies are naturally gluten-free thanks to no flour usage.
- Make sure to cool completely before slicing to allow brownies to set properly.
