Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 tbsp Butter can be salted
  • 12 oz Semi Sweet OR Dark Chocolate chips
  • 1/3 cup 100% Natural Unsweetened Cacao
  • 1 tsp Vanilla
  • 3 Eggs
  • 3/4 cup Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
  • 3/4 cup Sourdough Discard
  • 3/4 cup Flour
  • 1 pinch salt

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350℉. Butter your baking dish and set aside; my best results have been in an 8x8 or 9x9.
  2. Melt your butter slowly and completely on the stove. Then add in your chocolate chips, cacao powder, and vanilla and combine JUST until melted. Remove from the stove and allow to cool down.
  3. Beat your eggs and sugars in a mixing bowl. To this same bowl add your sourdough discard and melted chocolate mixture - mixing on low speed.
  4. Fold in your flour and salt to the mixture.
  5. Spread your batter in your prepared baking dish and bake for 25-35 minutes; until a toothpick comes out without batter on it.

Notes

  • Be careful not to over-melt your chocolate mixture at the beginning or it will thicken too much.
  • When you check the status of your brownies with a toothpick, a little bit of chocolate will probably stick to it and that's just fine! They are moist :) You just want to make sure the toothpick doesn't come out with raw batter on it.
