Ingredients
Scale
- 1⅓ cups (320 ml) plain Greek yogurt (fat-free)
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
- 1 cup (240 ml) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (170 g) semisweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup (85 g) white chocolate chips
- ½ cup (60 g) walnuts (chopped)
- ½ cup (50 g) cocoa powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing extra overhang for easy extraction.
- Dry Ingredient Fusion: Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl to create a uniform dry mixture.
- Chocolate Transformation: Melt semisweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring at 20-second intervals until achieving a silky smooth consistency.
- Wet Ingredient Integration: Combine melted chocolate with sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and Greek yogurt, whisking until the mixture becomes perfectly homogeneous.
- Batter Creation: Fold the wet chocolate mixture into dry ingredients, mixing gently to maintain a light texture, then incorporate semisweet chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, and chopped walnuts.
- Pan Arrangement: Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan, garnishing the top with additional chocolate chips for enhanced visual and flavor dimensions.
- Baking Process: Bake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, verifying doneness by inserting a toothpick that should emerge with minimal moist crumbs.
- Cooling and Serving: Allow brownies to cool completely on a wire rack, then lift out using parchment paper overhangs and slice into neat squares.
- Storage: Preserve brownies in an airtight container at room temperature, maintaining optimal freshness for 4-5 days.
Notes
- Prevent Overmixing: Gently fold wet and dry ingredients to maintain a tender, fudgy texture and avoid tough brownies.
- Chocolate Melting Tip: Use short microwave intervals and stir frequently to prevent chocolate from burning or seizing.
- Toothpick Test Technique: Look for moist crumbs when testing doneness – this ensures ultra-rich, moist brownies without overbaking.
- Storage Hack: Keep brownies in an airtight container at room temperature to preserve moisture and softness for maximum enjoyment.
