Description
These brownies turn extra sourdough starter into fudgy, chocolatey squares with a slight tang.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup sourdough starter (discard)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix well until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the sourdough starter until well combined.
- In another bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. If desired, stir in chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Use the parchment overhang to lift them out, then cut into squares.
