Simple Sourdough Discard Brownies

These simple sourdough discard brownies are the perfect treat. They are a satisfying dessert but not overly sweet. I make mine with dark chocolate, but you could use whichever chocolate you prefer. Mixing it up with half milk chocolate and half dark chocolate would be great. It's a good way to use up extra discard.

This recipe is so simple to make and comes together to bake in about five minutes. The hands-on time is so minimal, and the ingredients are pretty minimal too. It's a great dessert for last minute company or to take to a family function.

Some of my favorite recipes to make are with sourdough discard. I am always looking for new recipes to create that use up my extra sourdough discard. I love that there usually isn't a long wait time like when you are using active bubbly sourdough starter. Yet, it's still a healthier option to make desserts with discard than without.

Equipment

• Mixing Bowl, microwave safe
• Measuring Cups
• Measuring Spoons
• Spatula
• Whisk
• Parchment paper
• Baking Pan 9x7

Ingredients

• ½ Cup butter, salted (1 stick)
• ½ Cup dark chocolate chips, plus extra for topping
• 1 Cup starter, Unfed
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 1 Cup Coconut Sugar
• 2 Eggs
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ⅓ Cup cocoa powder
• ¾ Cup all-purpose flour

Instructions

1. Gather everything you need. Pre heat your oven to 350°F.
2. Melt your butter and ½ Cup of chocolate in a microwave safe bowl. I like to use my mixing bowl. The less dishes, the better.
3. Once melted, whisk in your sugar, starter, vanilla extract, eggs, and cocoa powder.
4. Once fully combined, add your flour and salt. Combine with your wet ingredients. Once it is fully mixed, add parchment paper to your baking sheet and spread the batter out evenly. Sprinkle some more chocolate chips over the top.
5. Bake for about 35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean.
6. Let cool before cutting and serving. Best served hot with ice cream or after it sat awhile and cooled if you are eating it by itself.

Notes

• Use whichever type of chocolate you want. I use dark chocolate in most desserts.

Storage

• These store well in an airtight container for up to 3 days on the counter.
