DIY Better Than Boxed Brownies

I found this recipe for chocolate peanut butter brownies that is amazing, but some of the ingredients are a little expensive here, so I don't make it as is everyday. The version that I adapted tastes very similar to fudge brownie from a box, but better. These are also great with caramel chips baked in or chocolate chips sprinkled on top when mostly cooled.

Better than Boxed Brownies

1 cup oil (I use sunflower seed oil, but vegetable, canola, or coconut should all work also.)
½ cup plain yogurt
3 eggs
1½ cups sugar
2 cups flour
½ cup cocoa
1½ tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt

It makes a thick 9x13 pan; half of the recipe fills a 9x9 pan or 9 inch cake pan nicely.


Mix all ingredients in a large mixing bowl until thoroughly combined. Bake at 350F for 20–25 minutes.
