Sourdough Brownies recipe
These rich, fudgy sourdough brownies have the perfect balance of tangy depth and chocolatey richness, making them an irresistible treat!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup sourdough starter active and bubbly
- 1/2 cup butter melted
- 1 cup sugar can use granulated or brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and sugar. Beat them together until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and sourdough starter.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding gently until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.
- If using, fold in the chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing it out evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean with just a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
