Ingredients
- 4 Tbsp butter
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup pure cane sugar
- 1 eggs
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup sourdough starter (fed or discard)
- 1/2 Tbsp cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- extra 1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips (to stir in batter)
Instructions
- Fill a pot with 2 inches of water and bring it to a boil on the stovetop.
- In a heat-safe glass mixing bowl, add butter and chocolate chips.
- Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to low-medium. Place the bowl on top of the pot, ensuring no steam escapes, and the bowl doesn't touch the water.
- Stir until the chocolate and butter are melted and well combined (double boiler method).
- Carefully remove the bowl from the pot and place it on a hot pad (it will be hot).
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- In the bowl, add cane sugar, eggs, vanilla, sourdough starter, cocoa powder, flour, and salt. Mix until combined, using a whisk.
- Stir in an extra 1/4 cup of chocolate chips and set the batter aside (and chopped walnuts or pecans if you prefer)
- Line a 9-inch round cake pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with butter.
- Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 17-20 minutes (until a toothpick comes out clean when poked in the center of the brownies).
- Slice the brownies into squares and enjoy!
