Print Recipe

If you love rich, fudgy brownies and have extra sourdough discard on hand, this Sourdough Brownies Recipe is the perfect treat!

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter

  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar

  • 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1/2 cup (120g) sourdough discard (unfed)

  • 3/4 cup (90g) all-purpose flour

  • 1/2 cup (45g) cocoa powder

  • 1/2 tsp baking powder

  • 1/4 tsp salt

  • 1/2 cup (85g) chocolate chips or chunks (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Melt the Butter & Mix Wet Ingredients

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper. In a saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, transfer it to a bowl and whisk in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until combined.

Step 2: Add the Eggs & Vanilla

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Whisk the mixture until smooth and slightly thickened.

Step 3: Stir in the Sourdough Discard

Add the sourdough discard to the wet ingredients, stirring until fully incorporated. The sourdough helps create a chewy, fudgy texture in the brownies.

Step 4: Combine Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently until just combined.

Step 5: Add Chocolate Chips & Bake

Stir in the chocolate chips or chunks if using. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Step 6: Cool & Serve

Let the brownies cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack. Cut into squares and enjoy your Sourdough Brownies Little Spoon Farm style!

Notes

✔ Don’t Overmix – Stir the batter until just combined to avoid dry brownies.
✔ Use Room Temperature Eggs – Helps create a smooth, uniform batter.
✔ Check for Doneness – The center should be slightly gooey for fudgy brownies.
