• ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• ½ cup brown sugar
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup unsalted butter (melted) or oil
• 1 cup milk (or plant-based milk)

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ cup chocolate chips (optional but recommended)

Step-by-Step Cooking Guide

Step 1 – Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.

Step 2 – Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, granulated sugar, and brown sugar.

Step 3 – Combine Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, mix melted butter (or oil), milk, yogurt, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4 – Prepare the Batter

Gradually add the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until a smooth batter forms. Do not overmix.

Step 5 – Add Chocolate Chips

Fold in chocolate chips for extra richness and texture.

Step 6 – Bake

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Step 7 – Cool and Serve

Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting into squares. This helps achieve a perfect fudgy texture.
