Description

These rich and fudgy sourdough brownies are a perfect way to use up sourdough discard. The tangy flavor enhances the deep chocolate taste, making them irresistibly delicious.


Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (100g) brown sugar
  • ½ cup (120g) sourdough discard (unfed)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (60g) all-purpose flour
  • ⅓ cup (30g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ cup (90g) chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  • In a saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Remove from heat and whisk in granulated and brown sugar.
  • Stir in the sourdough discard, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  • Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Mix until just combined.
  • Fold in chocolate chips if using.
  • Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  • Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  • Let cool completely before slicing. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Use sourdough discard that is at room temperature for best results.
  • If you prefer a more cake-like texture, add an extra egg.
  • Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
