2 large Eggs
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
¼ cup Melted unsalted butter or coconut oil
½ cup Chocolate chips (optional)

- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease and flour an 8×8 inch baking pan, or line with parchment paper

- Gently fold in the chocolate chips, if using
- Pour the batter evenly into your prepared baking pa

Notes
Always use full-fat Greek yogurt; it provides the best texture and moisture.
Do not overmix the batter; overmixing leads to tough brownies.
For extra fudginess, slightly underbake your brownies.
Use a good quality cocoa powder for the deepest chocolate flavor.
Let your brownies cool completely before slicing for clean, perfect squares.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
For longer freshness, refrigerate for up to a week.
Freeze individual brownies wrapped tightly in plastic wrap, then placed in a freezer-safe bag, for up to 3 months.
Thaw frozen brownies at room temperature or gently warm in the microwave for a few seconds.
