Ingredients (notes only)
Dry
- All-purpose flour: Just enough structure while staying fudgy.
- Cocoa powder: Natural or Dutch-process; bloom with hot water for deeper flavor.
- Sugar mix: Granulated + a little brown sugar for chew.
- Baking powder + salt: Light lift and balance.
- Cornstarch (optional): Adds tenderness for classic brownie bite.
Wet
- Plain yogurt (or Greek, thinned): Replaces eggs for Eggless Brownie Recipes.
- Neutral oil: Moist, fudgy crumb that stays soft at room temp.
- Vanilla + instant coffee (optional): Amplifies chocolate notes.
- Hot water: Blooms cocoa for shinier tops.
- Chocolate chips/chunks: Fold in for gooey pockets.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prep: Heat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment (overhang for lifting).
- Whisk dry: 1 cup (120 g) flour, ½ cup (45 g) cocoa, ¾ cup (150 g) sugar, ¼ cup (50 g) brown sugar, ½ tsp baking powder, ½ tsp salt, 1 Tbsp cornstarch.
- Add wet: Stir in ½ cup (120 g) plain yogurt, ½ cup (120 ml) neutral oil, 2 tsp vanilla, 1 tsp instant coffee (optional), and ¼ cup (60 ml) very hot water until just combined.
- Fold chocolate: Add 1 cup (170 g) chocolate chips; do not overmix. Thick batter is correct.
- Bake: Spread in pan. Bake 24–28 minutes until edges are set and center shows moist crumbs on a toothpick (not wet batter).
- Cool & slice: Cool in pan 20–30 minutes; lift out and chill 15 minutes for clean cuts. Wipe knife between slices.
Pro Tips
- Shiny tops: Don’t skimp on sugar and hot water—both help the crinkle.
- Fudgier center: Pull at the first sign of moist crumbs; carryover heat finishes the set.
- Yogurt texture control: Greek yields extra fudgy; regular yogurt is slightly lighter.
- Pan choice: Metal bakes edges crisp; glass runs hot—start checking at 22 minutes.
- Flavor boost: A pinch of cinnamon or flaky salt on top makes the cocoa pop.
Variations
- Extra-chocolate: Swirl ¼ cup warm chocolate hazelnut spread over the top before baking.
- Mocha chip: Add 1 Tbsp espresso powder and white chips for contrast.
- Walnut fudge: Fold ¾ cup toasted walnuts for café-style brownies.
- Dairy-free: Use coconut yogurt and dairy-free chips.
- Small batch: Halve everything and bake in a 9×5 loaf pan 22–26 minutes.
How to Serve
Slightly warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, dusted with cocoa or flaky salt. For neat squares, cool fully and refrigerate 30 minutes before slicing.
Make Ahead & Storage
- Room temp: Airtight up to 3 days.
- Fridge: Up to 5 days for extra fudgy texture.
- Freeze: Wrap slices; freeze up to 2 months. Thaw at room temp or microwave 10–15 seconds.
FAQs
How do I make a brownie without eggs?
Use yogurt for structure and moisture; oil keeps it fudgy. That’s the core of this How To Make A Brownie method.
Can I make it without yogurt?
Use ½ cup unsweetened applesauce or 2 flax “eggs” (2 Tbsp ground flax + 6 Tbsp water, rested 10 minutes).
Why are my brownies cakey?
Over-baking or too much flour. Weigh ingredients and pull when a toothpick shows moist crumbs.
Can I double the recipe?
Yes—use a 9×13 pan, bake 24–28 minutes, checking early.
