Indulge in Decadence: Our Sourdough Brownie Recipe

Hey there! 👋 I’m BreAnda, the mom behind Rowdy Rocket, a small business fueled by four rowdy kids and a patient dog named Rocket.

As a working mom juggling life's many adventures, I'm all about finding quick and easy ways to add a little sweetness to our days. And let me tell you, these Sourdough Brownies are a game-changer in our household.

With just a few simple ingredients, you can whip up a batch of these irresistible treats that'll have your family begging for more. And the best part? Our secret ingredient: sourdough starter!

Now, I know what you're thinking—sourdough in brownies? Trust me, it's pure magic. The sourdough adds a subtle tanginess and an extra depth of flavor that takes these brownies to a whole new level.

But the goodness doesn't stop there! Did you know that chocolate, the star ingredient in these brownies, is packed with health benefits too? Dark chocolate, in particular, is rich in antioxidants, which can help protect your cells from damage and reduce inflammation in the body.

And when it comes to sourdough, there's a lot more to love than just its flavor. Our batter, made with natural fermentation, is easier to digest and may even help regulate blood sugar levels. Plus, the fermentation process increases the bioavailability of nutrients, making sourdough a nutritious choice for you and your family.

With our handy Sourdough Starter Kit, you'll have everything you need to get started on your own sourdough journey. From beginner-friendly recipes to expert tips and tricks, we've got you covered every step of the way.

So go ahead, indulge in a little decadence and treat yourself to a taste of sourdough bliss! 

Until next time,
BreAnda with Rowdy Rowdy

Here's the recipe:

Sourdough Brownies

Ingredients:

• 4 oz (113g) unsweetened chocolate (for melting)
• 1/2 cup (113g) butter
• 1 cup (240g) sourdough starter
• 3/4 cup (150g) sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon (5g) vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup (60g) flour
• 1/4 cup (25g) cocoa powder
• 1/4 teaspoon (2g) salt
• 1 cup optional Mix-ins: chopped nuts, chocolate chips, dried fruit, etc.

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper or grease it.
2. Melt Chocolate and Butter: Melt the unsweetened chocolate and butter together over low heat in a pan or in the microwave, stirring until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the sourdough discard, sugar, eggs and vanilla extract. Slowly whisk the slightly cooled chocolate and butter mixture into the wet ingredients. Stir until well combined.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients: Sift together the flour, cocoa powder and salt. Gently fold this into the wet mixture until just combined. Avoid over mixing. If using any mix-ins like nuts or chocolate chips, fold them in now.
5. Bake Cool and Serve: Pour the batter into the pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30-35 minutes until edges slightly pull away and the center is set but not jiggly. Cool in the pan, then transfer to a cutting board, cut into squares and serve.
