Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.75 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Light brown sugar, packed
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 0.25 cup Low-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chunks
- Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8x8 inch baking pan by spraying it with non-stick cooking spray or lining it with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, flour, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, salt, and baking powder. Stir until well combined.
In a separate large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Add the eggs, one at a time, to the wet mixture, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold the dark chocolate chunks into the batter, making sure they're evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.
Remove from the oven and allow the brownies to cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cut into 12 squares and enjoy your light chocolate chunk brownies!
