This sourdough chocolate chip bake is thick, fluffy, and delicious. Your family will probably gobble the whole pan up in two days. This is a very simple dessert to make that turns out great every time. It's super easy and delicious. It's different than something traditional like a chocolate chip cookie. These almost reminds me of chocolate chip scones but they're not as dry.

They're pretty healthy for a dessert. They are definitely a better option than almost any prepackaged desserts from the store. The main sweetener (other than the chocolate chips) is coconut sugar, which you can replace with brown sugar if you don't have it. I can't tell a difference between coconut sugar and brown sugar flavor wise. I use coconut sugar for most of my recipes just because it's healthier.

From start to finish this dish takes about 40 minutes to make, most of which is baking. It's easy enough to prepare while you are making dinner to pop in the oven while you are eating. This makes a great treat to satisfy your sweet tooth.

I have always made homemade meals that are delicious, but I have really been working on learning to make homemade snacks and desserts for my family. This sourdough chocolate chip bake is one of our favorites.

Notes

It will seem like the dough is thick and dry. That's okay, it is supposed to be. Press it down into your pan. It will turn out good, I promise!
I have made this recipe with active bubble sourdough and also with flat discard. It turns out great either way.
