Description
A wholesome and nostalgic brownie made with whole wheat flour and no eggs, perfectly moist, rich, and satisfying on a cozy afternoon.
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup plain yogurt (or mashed ripe banana)
- ½ cup melted butter or coconut oil
- ¼ cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- Optional: ½ cup chopped walnuts, chocolate chips, or dried fruit
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line an 8×8-inch square pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together yogurt (or banana), melted butter, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
- Sift in whole wheat flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt over the wet mixture. Fold gently until just combined—do not overmix.
- Fold in chocolate chips or nuts if using. Add a pinch of cinnamon or cardamom for a seasonal touch.
- Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 22–26 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs.
- Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Slice once completely cool.
Notes
Spoon and level the flour to avoid over-measuring. For a deeper flavor, use high-quality cocoa powder. Let brownies cool fully before cutting for clean slices.
