Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease an 18x18cm baking tray and line with parchment paper.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
Tip: Make sure to whisk well to avoid lumps.

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.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the treacle and yogurt. Add the melted butter and whisk until smooth.

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the chopped walnuts, if using.

Pour the batter into the prepared baking tray and smooth the top.
