Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease an 18x18cm baking tray and line with parchment paper.
Tip: Use a high-quality parchment paper to prevent the brownies from sticking.
- 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
Tip: Make sure to whisk well to avoid lumps.
- 3
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Tip: Don't overmix the batter, or the brownies will be dense.
- 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the treacle and yogurt. Add the melted butter and whisk until smooth.
Tip: Be careful not to splash the mixture.

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the chopped walnuts, if using.
Tip: Don't overmix the batter, or the brownies will be tough.

Pour the batter into the prepared baking tray and smooth the top.
Tip: Use a spatula to create a smooth, even surface.
- 7
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Tip: Don't overbake, or the brownies will be dry.
- 8
Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the tray.
Tip: Use a spatula to loosen the brownies from the parchment paper.

Cut into squares and serve.
