Ingredients

• 170 grams Unsalted butter
• 200 grams Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 200 grams Granulated sugar
• 100 grams Brown sugar
• 3 large Eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 120 grams Sourdough starter (discard)
• 70 grams All-purpose flour
• 30 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a 9x9-inch (23x23 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until the mixture is smooth and fully combined. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and slightly frothy.

Step 4

Gradually mix the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Add the sourdough starter discard to the wet mixture and gently stir until combined.

Step 6

In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula, being careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (do not overbake).

Step 9

Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

Step 10

Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan. Slice into 12 squares and serve. Enjoy your rich sourdough chocolate brownies!
