Related: About this forumToday I was watching Formula 1 practice. Not much was happening so
They started talking about the great brownies at the McLaren garage. They heaped praise on them to the point where I had to find the recipe. They use yogurt and a dozen eggs.
so here is the recipe on Twitter.

(36,317 posts)most were straightforward. I used online calculators to convert mass to volume for powdered ingredients:
1 lb dark chocolate
1 1/3 cup vegetable oil
12 eggs
2 lbs sugar
4 t vanilla extract
1 1/3 cup flour
13 T cocoa powder
1 1/2 T baking powder
1 cup natural yogurt
12 oz white chocolate chunks
1. Melt dark chocolate over a pan of hot water.
2. In a bowl, whisk eggs, sugar, & vanilla until fluffy.
3. Add your flour, baking powder, cocoa powder, natural yogurt, melted chocolate & vegetable oil to the mix.
4. Fold in the white chocolate chunks.
5. Pour into a large baking tray which is lined with parchment paper.
6. Pop into a preheated oven at 160C (320F) for 45-55 minutes. The brownie should be firm around the edges, a little soft in the middle.
7. Try not to eat the whole batch.

(2,674 posts)Wet -12 eggs, 1 1/3 cup oil, 1 cup yogurt vs Dry -1 1/3 cup flour , 13 T cocoa - the unknowns - will sugar liquefy, will melted chocolate solidify? Sounds a lot of baking powder, will it cause a big rise and incorporate air to offset the liquids? Size of pan not given and probably most important. The size of the pan with the low baking temperature and long baking time would dry out the batter a lot.
If anyone makes this recipe, let us know how it turns out. About 6 years ago, I got on a brownie making tear and tried many recipes, from Ina Garten to Martha Stewart, some on-line recipes. Still like the recipe from old Joy of Cooking best. I worked out a good cream cheese swirl, did not do so well with my peanut butter swirl.
A good brownie should have deep chocolate taste and not be cake-like, but dense and moist.

(2,674 posts)Interested in knowing how they turn out. I have all the ingredients except enough eggs on hand and have a large commercial size baking pan. Right now I am working my way through 2 bushels of peaches (pie, preserves). Going to finish then off today by bagging in quart bags for freezer. If you report good results with recipe, I will give it a try. I LOVE brownies!
