Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line an 8×8 baking pan with parchment paper.
- Mix the Butter & Sugars
- In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until glossy and smooth.
- Add Yogurt & Vanilla
- Stir in the yogurt (or buttermilk) and vanilla extract until fully combined and creamy.
- Combine Dry Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Mix the Batter
- Add the dry mixture into the wet mixture. Gently fold until just combined—do not overmix.
- Add Chocolate Chips
- Fold in the chocolate chips for extra fudginess.
- Bake
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
- Bake for 22–26 minutes, or until the top is set but the center is still slightly soft.
- Cool & Slice
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan. Lift out using parchment and slice into 12 squares.
Notes
For extra fudgy brownies, bake on the shorter time.
For slightly cakier brownies, add 2 more tablespoons of flour.
Let brownies cool fully before slicing for clean edges.
Add-ins: walnuts, pecans, crushed Oreos, caramel swirls, or extra chocolate chips.
Decorate for Halloween brownies with candy eyes, orange icing, or spiderweb chocolate.
Store at room temperature for 3–4 days or freeze up to 2 months.
