Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1/2 cup chocolate (chopped)
- 1 cup vanilla yogurt
- 1/2 cup sugar of choice (white, brown, sugar-free, etc.)
- 3/4 cup all purpose flour (gluten free if needed)
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 cup milk of choice (unsweetened almond milk recommended)
- 1 cup chocolate chips of choice (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line an 8 x 8-inch baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Melt Chocolate and Combine Wet Ingredients: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chopped chocolate carefully. Let it sit for 1-2 minutes to cool slightly, then whisk in the vanilla yogurt and sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Transfer this mixture to a large mixing bowl.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: Add the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and baking soda to the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined to avoid overmixing.
- Add Milk and Optional Chocolate Chips: Pour in the milk and mix well until fully incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chips if using to add delightful bursts of chocolate throughout.
- Bake the Brownies: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes. Test doneness by inserting a skewer into the center; it should come out just clean.
- Cool Properly: Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 10 minutes before carefully transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps set the brownies for perfect slicing.
Notes
- Use vanilla yogurt for a subtle sweetness and creaminess. Greek yogurt adds protein and moisture without excess fat.
- You can substitute regular milk with any plant-based milk, such as almond, soy, or oat milk.
- For gluten-free brownies, use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend.
- Adjust sugar type and amount according to dietary needs or taste preferences.
- Chocolate chips are optional but recommended for added texture and richness.
- Ensure not to overbake to maintain fudgy texture.
