📝 Ingredients

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides, and lightly grease.
  2. 2
    In a large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and well combined.
  3. 3
    Beat in the eggs one at a time until fully incorporated. Stir in the vanilla extract and melted butter.
  4. 4
    In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  5. 5
    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. 6
    Fold in the chocolate chips or chunks. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  7. 7
    Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached but no wet batter.
  8. 8
    Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting out and cutting into squares. This is crucial for fudginess and clean cuts.

💡 Notes

For an extra fudgy texture, slightly underbake the brownies. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days, or freeze for longer storage. Experiment with adding a dash of espresso powder to enhance chocolate flavor.
