Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup (200g) brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (120g) full-fat Greek yogurt

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup (35g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3/4 cup (95g) all-purpose flour (or almond flour for gluten-free)
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all ingredients at room temperature to ensure smooth blending, especially the butter and eggs which should be soft but not melted.
  2. Melt the Butter and Mix with Sugar: Gently melt the butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in the brown sugar until fully combined and smooth, forming the base sweetness and richness.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Whisk the eggs and vanilla extract into the butter and sugar mixture until uniform, adding volume and binding the ingredients.
  4. Incorporate Greek Yogurt: Stir in the Greek yogurt thoroughly to introduce moisture and a subtle tang, contributing to the fudgy texture and depth of flavor.
  5. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt to ensure even distribution and light texture.
  6. Fold Dry Ingredients into Wet: Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet mixture until just combined, taking care to avoid overmixing for tender, dense brownies rather than cakey.
  7. Bake Until Just Set: Pour batter into a greased or parchment-lined 8×8-inch pan. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs attached—avoid overbaking to maintain moistness.
  8. Cool Before Cutting: Let the brownies cool completely in the pan to allow them to set properly for moist, rich slices.

Notes

  • Use full-fat Greek yogurt for the creamiest texture and best flavor.
  • Sift dry ingredients to avoid clumps and ensure even mixing.
  • Check for doneness at 25 minutes to prevent overbaking; brownies should be fudgy inside.
  • Ingredients at room temperature help the batter come together smoothly.
  • Line the pan with parchment paper for easy removal and clean slices.
