Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup (240 ml) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
- 1⅓ cups (320 ml) plain Greek yogurt (fat-free)
- 1 cup (170 g) semisweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup (85 g) white chocolate chips
- ½ cup (60 g) walnuts (chopped)
Flavoring and Seasoning:
- ½ cup (50 g) cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Leavening and Salt:
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Prepare an 8×8 inch (20×20 centimeters) baking pan by lining it with parchment paper, ensuring extra paper hangs over the sides for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly combine flour, baking powder, and salt using a whisk to ensure even distribution of dry ingredients.
- Melt of semisweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 20-second intervals and stirring between each interval until chocolate becomes smooth and glossy.
- Add sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and Greek yogurt to the melted chocolate. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is completely smooth and well-incorporated.
- Gently fold the wet chocolate mixture into the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined to prevent overmixing.
- Carefully stir in semisweet chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, and chopped walnuts, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared pan, spreading it uniformly with a spatula. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips across the top for extra visual appeal and flavor.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 28-32 minutes, checking doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center – it should come out with a few moist crumbs.
- Remove from oven and allow brownies to cool completely in the pan, placed on a wire rack to ensure even cooling.
- Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhangs to lift the brownies out of the pan, then slice into square pieces using a sharp knife.
- Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4-5 days to maintain freshness.
