Equipment

Ingredients

  • ½ cup Butter
  • 1 ¼ cup Chocolate Chips
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • ½ cup Brown Sugar
  • ½ cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • ½ cup Flour
  • ½ cup Sourdough Discard Unfed
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper. In a small saucepan, add the chocolate chips and butter. Over medium heat, melt them together and then immediately turn off the heat.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add the all purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cocoa powder. Mix well to combine the ingredients.
  • Pour the melted chocolate and butter into large mixing bowl.
  • Add the eggs, vanilla extract, and sourdough discard to the mixing bowl. Mix until all the ingredients are combined.
  • Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 35-40 minutes. Allow the brownies to cool before cutting.

Notes

  • Make sure the brownies have cooled to room temperature before you cut them. They are super fudgy and will break apart if they are still too hot when you try to cut them.
  • Parchment paper makes taking the brownies out of the pan super easy. Crinkle the parchment paper first and then press it into the pan.
  • If there is hooch (the brown liquid that can settle on the sourdough discard container in the refrigerator) on your sourdough discard, pour the hooch out before using the sourdough discard. Hooch is one of the many terms in my sourdough glossary that will help you on your sourdough journey.
  • Make sure to mix the batter well before placing it in the baking dish. The sourdough discard should be incorporated fully in the batter so there are not clumps of sourdough discard in the baked brownies.
  • Serve these brownies with homemade ice cream, whipped cream, or on their own!
