Detailed Directions and Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Baking Pan
Grease a small baking pan (preferably 8×8 inches) with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper for easier removal later.
Step 2: Melt the Chocolate
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chopped dark chocolate and butter. Microwave in short intervals, stirring well, until completely melted and smooth.
Step 3: Mix Wet Ingredients
Add sugar, yogurt, and vanilla extract to the melted chocolate mixture. Whisk it together until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
Step 4: Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder. Mix well to ensure even distribution.
Step 5: Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture. Use a spatula to fold the ingredients together until just combined—be careful not to overmix.
Step 6: Add Chocolate Chips
Fold in chocolate chips or nuts of your choice into the brownie batter.
Step 7: Pour the Batter
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly.
Step 8: Bake
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and bake the brownies for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Step 9: Cool and Cut
Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
Notes
Storage
Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
Serving Suggestions
These brownies can be served plain or topped with a scoop of ice cream, whipped cream, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for added indulgence.
Substitutions
You can replace yogurt with applesauce for a different flavor profile. Also, feel free to use dairy-free chocolate if you want to make them vegan.
Texture Tip
For fudgier brownies, avoid overbaking. Keep an eye on them towards the end of the baking time for the best results.
Cook techniques
Using a Double Boiler
Using a double boiler allows for gentle melting of chocolate or butter, minimizing the risk of burning. Place a heat-proof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water and stir until melted.
Mixing Techniques
When mixing your ingredients, use a spatula to fold instead of whisking vigorously. This helps maintain the mixture’s lightness and prevents overmixing.
Measuring Ingredients Accurately
Accurate measurement of ingredients is crucial in baking. Use a kitchen scale for dry ingredients and measuring cups for wet ingredients to ensure precise proportions.
Baking Time and Temperature
Always preheat your oven before baking. Use an oven thermometer to check the accuracy of your oven temperature for consistent baking results.
Checking for Doneness
To check if the brownies are done, insert a toothpick into the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs, not wet batter.
