Sourdough Brownies
These Sourdough Brownies are a decadent twist on a classic treat, blending rich chocolate with the subtle tang of sourdough. In just 42 minutes, you’ll have fudgy, moist brownies with a crackly top that’s impossible to resist.
Ingredients
- 10 Tablespoons unsalted butter (141 g)
- 4 oz 60% or semisweet chocolate bar (113 g) chopped into small pieces
- ½ cup Dutch process cocoa powder (50 g)
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar (300 g)
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- ½ cup sourdough discard (110 g)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ⅔ cup all-purpose flour (83 g)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup semisweet chocolate chips (130 g) optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and arrange a rack to the center of the oven. Line a 9×9” square baking pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Combine butter and chopped chocolate in a large microwave-safe mixing bowl and heat in the microwave in 25-second intervals, stirring well in between, until butter and chocolate are melted and mixture is smooth (alternatively you may melt on the stovetop over a double boiler).
- Immediately add cocoa powder and stir well.
- In a separate bowl, combine sugar and eggs. Use a whisk to beat vigorously for about 2-3 minutes (or use an electric mixer on high speed for 1 minute).
- Add sourdough discard and vanilla extract and stir well.
- Drizzle melted chocolate mixture into egg mixture and stir until well-combined.
- Add flour and salt and stir until completely combined and batter is uniform.
- Stir in chocolate chips, if using.
- Spread evenly into prepared baking sheet and bake in center rack of oven for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist fudgy crumbs (or clean).
- Allow brownies to cool in pan before cutting and serving.
