Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cup Sugar granulated
- 3/4 cup Cocoa Powder dutch-processed cocoa powder recommended for richer flavor, unsweetened
- 1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1/4 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/4 tsp Salt
Wet Ingredients
- 140 grams Butter melted, unsalted
- 2 Large Eggs or 1 ripe banana for eggless version
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 cup Yogurt
Mix-ins
- 1/2 cup Chocolate Chips semi-sweet or dark chocolate
- 5 Plums and chopped, pitted, ripe
Baking Supplies
- 8x8 inch Baking Pan lined with parchment paper
Instructions
Prepare the Batter
- Melt butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Add sugar and cocoa powder; whisk until smooth.
- Add eggs (or mashed banana) and vanilla extract; whisk for 4-5 minutes until shiny and well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding until just combined.
- Stir in yogurt and chocolate chips.
Assemble and Bake
- Pour batter into prepared baking pan. Arrange chopped plums evenly over the top.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 330°F (165°C) for 28-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached.
- Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
Eggless Variation Note
- For an eggless version, substitute the eggs with one very ripe mashed banana. The texture might be slightly different, but the flavor will still be delicious.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Plum Brownies
- Use ripe, but not overripe, plums for the best flavor and texture. Overripe plums may make the brownies too wet.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can lead to tough brownies. Mix until just combined.
- For extra chocolate indulgence, consider adding a layer of melted chocolate on top of the plums before baking.
- Let the brownies cool completely before cutting. This allows them to set properly and prevents them from crumbling.
