  4. Step 4: Stir in 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, and 1 tsp vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Step 5: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined, then fold in 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  6. Step 6: Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-28 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Step 7: Cool completely in the pan before slicing into 16 squares.
