The way to Make Sourdough Brownies

1. Soften collectively the chopped chocolate and butter in 25-second intervals within the microwave. Anytime you’re melting chocolate, you don’t need to warmth it for too lengthy without delay or it may seize, which means you might want to begin over.
2. Instantly stir within the cocoa powder till effectively integrated. Including the cocoa powder to the nice and cozy chocolate and butter helps bloom it, creating the chocolate taste.
3. Add the eggs and sugar to a separate bowl and whisk vigorously for about 2-3 minutes, till lightened and elevated in quantity.
4. Add the sourdough discard and vanilla to the egg combination and stir till blended in.

No Mixer? No downside. Simply use a whisk to vigorously whisk the eggs and sugar collectively by hand till effectively mixed. Even if you happen to don’t combine as a lot as I do, you’ll nonetheless have great, tasty sourdough brownies.

5. Drizzle within the chocolate combination and stir effectively. I normally use a spatula for this step and don’t use my electrical mixer anymore.
6. Stir within the flour and salt till the batter is cohesive and clean.
7. Fold within the chocolate chips, if you happen to determine to make use of them.
8. Unfold the batter right into a parchment lined pan and bake for half-hour at 350F. Let cool fully earlier than slicing.

SAM’S TIP: When checking your sourdough brownies for doneness with a toothpick, be sure you don’t unintentionally hit a chocolate chip. For those who do, the toothpick will come out chocolatey and will be mistaken for moist/uncooked batter.
