Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)
  • Secret Ingredient: 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat recommended)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan, or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until well combined.
  3. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
  5. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Gently fold in the Greek yogurt until it is fully incorporated into the batter.
  8. If using, stir in the chocolate chips.
  9. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
  10. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached (not wet batter).
  11. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares.

Notes

  • For an even richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips.
  • Ensure your eggs are at room temperature for better incorporation.
  • Do not overbake, as this will result in dry brownies.
