Eggless Brownies

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread almonds in an 8-inch square baking pan.
2. 2
   Toast almonds in the preheating oven until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and let cool.
3. 3
   Combine brownie mix, fudge packet, and oil in a large bowl.
4. 4
   Whisk water, yogurt, and vanilla extract together in a glass measuring cup using a fork. Pour over brownie mix in the bowl; stir until batter is well-blended, 40 to 50 strokes.
5. 5
   Line the baking pan with aluminum foil, leaving an overhang on each side. Spray aluminum foil with cooking spray. Pour batter into the pan. Spread almonds on top.
6. 6
   Bake brownies in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted 1 inch from the edge comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes.
7. 7
   Let brownies stand until cooled, at least 15 minutes, before lifting out of the pan and cutting into squares.
