Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, eggs, vanilla extract, and sugar. Whisk until smooth.
In a separate bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and espresso powder. Whisk to combine.
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, folding gently. Add dark chocolate chips.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top if desired.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Allow the brownies to cool for at least 15 minutes in the pan before transferring to a wire rack. Refrigerate for 30 minutes before cutting into squares for best texture.

For gluten-free brownies, use a gluten-free baking blend instead of regular flour.
For vegan brownies, replace eggs with flax eggs (1 tablespoon flaxseed meal + 3 tablespoons water per egg).
For extra protein, add 2 tablespoons of unflavored or chocolate-flavored protein powder to the dry ingredients.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
You can freeze brownies individually wrapped for up to 2 months.
