Step-by-Step Instructions for Greek Yogurt Brownies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan with a bit of oil or line it with parchment paper.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, applesauce, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  4. Incorporate the eggs and vanilla extract into the yogurt mixture and whisk vigorously until light and fluffy.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt, mixing them well.
  6. Gradually pour the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, folding gently with a spatula.
  7. Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips.
  8. Transfer the batter into your prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
  9. Place the baking pan in your preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, checking for doneness at the 20-minute mark.
  10. Once baked, allow the brownies to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
