Description

Decadent Sourdough Discard Brownies: The Ultimate Fudgy Indulgence! These rich, fudgy brownies use sourdough discard for a moist, chewy texture with a subtle tang. Perfect for chocolate lovers and sourdough bakers alike, this recipe transforms discard into a luxurious dessert.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (227g) sourdough discard (unfed starter)
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup (75g) cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup (60g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup (90g) chocolate chips (optional, for extra richness)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine melted butter, sugar, and sourdough discard. Whisk until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
  2. Sift in cocoa powder, flour, and salt. Gently fold dry ingredients into wet mixture until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips if using.
  3. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Pour batter into pan and spread evenly.
  4. Bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs. Cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Use room-temperature eggs for better incorporation.
  • For extra fudginess, slightly underbake the brownies.
  • Add a pinch of espresso powder to enhance chocolate flavor.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
