Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
- 50 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 120 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 60 grams unsalted butter
- 75 grams Greek yogurt
- 100 grams light brown sugar
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 50 grams white chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.
Melt the dark chocolate and butter together in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water or in the microwave on low power. Stir until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and eggs. Whisk vigorously for about 2 minutes until light and frothy.
Add the cooled melted chocolate mixture, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract to the egg mixture. Stir until smooth and well combined.
Gradually fold in the dry ingredients using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon. Mix just until combined, being careful not to overmix.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and white chocolate chips for bursts of creamy sweetness in each bite.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes or until the edges are firm but the center is still slightly soft. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with moist crumbs, not wet batter.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment overhang.
Slice into 12 squares and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
