Notes
- Enjoy Sourdough Brownies in moderation, as they are high in sugar and calories at 200 calories per serving.
Yes, you can use an active starter, but the discard’s mild tang pairs better with the brownies’ sweetness.
Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
Absolutely! Chopped walnuts or pecans make a great addition, adding a crunchy texture to the fudgy brownies.
