Instructions

  1. Mix together chocolate, sugar, vegan butter, yogurt, vanilla extract, and salt.
  2. Gently fold the flour, baking powder, and chopped nuts into the wet mixture.
  3. Spread the brownie batter 1/2-inch thick onto a lightly greased 8×8 baking pan.
  4. Bake for 30–35 minutes at 350 °F (175 °C). Cut into squares or wedges while still warm.

Notes

  • Typically, I try to go for the bare minimum amount of sugar, but for this recipe, I found that the stated amount of sugar results in the best taste. Even reducing it by only 1/3 cup made the brownies taste a little off. If you absolutely must reduce the sugar, add some extra cocoa powder, otherwise, the resulting bake will taste doughy.
