Total Time:40 minutes mins
Servings:16 brownies
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter cut into cubes, at room temperature
- 1 cup dark chocolate bars 50% to 75% cacao, finely chopped
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup water boiled
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- ¼ cup yogurt any kind that is full-fat
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
Preheat the oven to 350°F and line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper. Leave some parchment paper hanging over both ends of the pan for easy removal later and set aside. Add the water to a pot and place over heat to bring to a boil.
Add the butter cubes, finely chopped chocolate, and cocoa powder to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30-second intervals while stirring the mixture in-between until the chocolate and butter have melted completely. Set aside.
Remove the boiled water from the heat. Add the sugar to the hot water and stir it until all the sugar has dissolved, and then stir in the vanilla extract.
Combine the melted chocolate mixture with the hot water mixture in a large mixing bowl and mix until smooth. Once smooth, stir in the yogurt until well incorporated, and then sift in the flour, salt, and cornstarch.
Now fold the batter gently while breaking up any lumps of flour until the batter is thick and smooth. Evenly spread the batter into the prepared pan.
Bake for 25 minutes until a toothpick comes out mostly clean (with moist crumbs but no wet batter) from the center.
Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature. Once cooled, lift out of the pan, slice into 16 squares, serve, and enjoy!
- If you’re using vanilla yogurt, reduce the amount of vanilla extract used by half.
- Omit the salt if you’re using salted butter in the recipe.
- Let them cool before slicing, otherwise, you will get ragged instead of neat cuts.
