Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour

• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

• 1/4 teaspoon salt

• 1 cup granulated sugar

• 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt

• 1/4 cup vegetable oil

• 2 large eggs

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional, but highly recommended for extra decadence!)

Directions

• Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a baking pan with parchment paper.
• Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
• Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix together the sugar, Greek yogurt, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
• Blend Together: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
• Add Chocolate Chips (Optional): For an extra dose of chocolatey goodness, fold in the chocolate chips into the batter.
• Bake to Perfection: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly. Pop it into the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
• Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, slice into squares and indulge!

Pro Tips:

• For an even fudgier texture, slightly underbake the brownies. They should be set around the edges but still slightly gooey in the center.
• Feel free to customize your brownies by adding nuts, dried fruits, or a swirl of peanut butter or caramel sauce to the batter before baking.
• Store any leftovers (if there are any!) in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze them for longer shelf life.

So, there you have it – a scrumptious twist on the classic brownie recipe that’s sure to satisfy your sweet cravings. Whether you enjoy them as an afternoon pick-me-up or a decadent dessert, these Greek Yogurt Brownies are guaranteed to be a hit with friends and family. Happy baking!
