STEP BY STEP

Let’s make it.

Heat the oven to 340°F (170°C) and line a 20 cm square tin. Mix the almond meal, cocoa, baking powder and salt, breaking up any cocoa lumps.
Whisk the eggs, sugar, yogurt, butter and vanilla until smooth. Stir into the dry mixture, then fold in the walnuts.
Spread evenly in the tin and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake for 23–28 minutes, until the center is set and a skewer comes out with moist crumbs but no liquid batter. The egg mixture should reach at least 160°F (71°C).
Cool completely in the tin before lifting out and cutting into 12 servings.

Kitchen notes

These cocoa-forward brownies are less sweet than conventional brownies. Cooling fully gives neater slices.
The total time includes approximately 45–55 minutes for cooling before slicing. A larger or deeper bake may need longer.
