Ingredients
  

Brownie Ingredients
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted Butter gives the brownies that luscious texture.
  • 1 cup granulated sugar Sweetens the chocolatey goodness.
  • 2 large eggs Essential for binding.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract For enhanced flavor (ensure it's alcohol-free).
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour The main structure of your brownies.
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder For that deep chocolate flavor.
  • 1 cup sourdough starter The star ingredient that adds a unique tang.
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder To give the brownies a slight rise.
  • ½ teaspoon salt To balance the sweetness.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a square baking pan (9×9 inches) or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate large bowl, combine the melted butter and sugar, whisk until well mixed, then add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and sourdough starter.
  4. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Don’t overmix—you want those brownies to stay fudgy!
  5. Pour the batter into your prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.
  6. Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Cut into squares and enjoy!

Notes

For best results, know your oven's temperature. Consider substitutions like coconut oil for dairy-free or a flaxseed mixture for egg-free. Store in an airtight container for up to a week, or freeze for up to three months.
