ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

3/4 cup all-purpose flour (maida) – 90 g
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/3 cup cocoa powder – 27 g
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup chocolate, chopped – 170 g
1/2 cup butter – 113 g
3/4 cup Greek yogurt – 180 g
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup sugar – 150 g
1/4 cup walnuts – 20 g

directions

Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Line an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper or aluminium foil and brush all sides with butter.
In a bowl, sift flour, baking powder, cocoa powder, and salt. Set aside.
In another bowl, place chocolate and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals until butter melts. Mix well.
Add Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and sugar to the melted chocolate-butter mixture. Whisk for 1–2 minutes.
Combine the wet mixture with the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. The batter will be thick.
Fold in walnuts or sprinkle them on top.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 40 minutes, checking from the 35-minute mark with a toothpick — it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Cool completely in the pan before inverting onto a rack. Slice and serve.

FAQs

Can I use homemade curd instead of Greek yogurt?

No, Greek yogurt is thicker and gives the right texture. If using curd, double strain it using muslin cloth.

How do I know when brownies are done?

Insert a toothpick in the center — if it comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, they’re ready.

Can I make these brownies vegan?

Yes, use plant-based butter and dairy-free yogurt.

Why is my brownie batter so thick?

Eggless brownie batter is naturally thicker; this helps achieve a fudgy texture.

Can I skip the nuts?

Yes, you can omit nuts or replace them with chocolate chips, dried fruits, or cookies.

How do I make brownies extra fudgy?

Reduce baking time slightly and use high-quality chocolate.

Can I bake these in a different pan size?

Yes, but adjust the baking time — smaller pans will require longer baking, larger pans less.

How can I get a shiny top on brownies?

Whisk the sugar well with the wet ingredients to dissolve it properly before mixing in dry ingredients.

Why did my brownies turn out dry?

They may have been overbaked. Start checking at the 35-minute mark.

Can I double this recipe?

Yes, simply double the ingredients and bake in a larger pan, adjusting the baking time as needed.
