Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup sourdough starter discard (unfed)

  5. In a separate bowl, sift together cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking soda.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding gently to combine.
  7. If desired, fold in chocolate chips for extra richness.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  10. Allow brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing and serving.

Notes

For a nutty twist, sprinkle chopped walnuts or pecans on top before baking. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgence.
