INGREDIENTS

Sourdough Discard Brownies

227 grams chocolate

113 grams unsalted butter

35 grams cocoa powder

140 grams brown sugar

150 grams cane sugar

2 large eggs

120 grams sourdough discard

6 grams vanilla extract

150 grams unbleached all purpose flour

2 grams baking powder

4 grams salt

Brownie Frosting

55 grams unsalted butter

25 grams cocoa powder

3 grams vanilla extract

30 grams milk

110 grams powdered sugar

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven 350 degrees F

Add the chocolate, butter and cocoa powder to a microwaveable bowl and microwave in 30 second increments until the chocolate is melted. Stir until it is smooth. Set it aside. In a small bowl, add the brown sugar, cane sugar and eggs. Mix them together until light and fluffy. Add vanilla extract and sourdough discard. Mix until combined. Add chocolate to the sugar and egg mixture. Mix until combined. To a small bowl, add flour, baking powder and salt and mix with a fork. Add the flour mixture to the chocolate mixture. Just until combined. Don’t overmix.

Line an 8 x 8 pan with parchment paper and pour the mixture in the pan. Spread it out evenly. Bake for about 55 minutes. The middle may be a bit gooey but will set as the brownies cool. I stick a knife in the center and it should come out clean. Prepare the frosting as the brownies are cooling. Mix the melted butter, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, milk and powdered sugar until smooth. Spread over the brownies. Enjoy!!
