BAKING:

  • Bake the brownies in a 325 degree Fahrenheit oven for 30 minutes. Brownies continue to bake as they cool so be careful not to overbake them. They should be gooey when you take them out of the oven and a toothpick will not come out clean.

Notes

The age of your sourdough discard can affect the tang of these brownies.  If you don't like the sourdough tang, use more recently discard that is thicker.  If you like the tang, use older thinner discard.
