Sourdough Discard Brownies
Don’t throw away your sourdough discards! every time you feed your starter save them in a separate container to make this sourdough discard brownies! Once you have enough discards, bake this brownies or any of my sourdough discard recipes here!
This sourdough discard brownies are moist and fudgy. Plus you can add more chips, nuts or berries to them. If you check out the photo – I added blueberries.
This is a super easy and fast recipe to make. You will have a treat in 1 hour total, which you will be so happy about, specially during! when we crave a little sweet in the afternoon tea or coffee.
Some of the most typical questions I get below:
Can I substitute the flour in this sourdough discard brownies?
Yes! In the recipe I added the recipes you can use. I either use: all purpose, bread flour or whole wheat. I would also feel comfortable using Spelt flour.
Can I replace the white sugar for light brown sugar?
Yes definitely! just don’t replace it for Maple syrup or honey, as those are liquid sweeteners and the consistency of the brownie will change.
What is my favorite chocolate to use?
The older I get the more picky I’m about the chocolate I eat and for these ones I used Ghirardelli 60% cacao chocolate chips – link here
