Deliciously fudgy brownies made using sourdough discard, combining rich chocolate flavor with a subtle tang for a unique and moist treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sourdough discard (unfed)
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the melted butter and granulated sugar until combined.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and sourdough discard.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. If desired, fold in the chocolate chips for extra chocolaty brownies.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.

Notes

For an extra fudgy texture, try adding a tablespoon of espresso powder or serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
