Ingredients
  

Main ingredients

  • ½ cup unsalted butter melted nice and smooth
  • 1 cup granulated sugar to bring that sweet kick
  • 2 large eggs that hold everything together real good
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract for a warm, comforting note
  • ½ cup sourdough starter you can use discard or active
  • cup unsweetened cocoa powder to get that deep chocolate hit
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour for structure and body
  • ¼ teaspoon salt balancing all the sweetness
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder to give a slight rise
  • ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips for extra melty bursts

Instructions
 

Instructions

  • Grease your 8x8 inch pan well so the batter won't stick.
  • Melt the butter on low heat, remove from heat and stir in sugar, eggs, and vanilla until glossy.
  • Stir in the sourdough starter until fully combined.
  • Sift together cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Fold into the wet ingredients just until combined.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips gently.
  • Pour batter into the greased pan and spread evenly.
  • Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes, or cook in the pressure cooker. Use a toothpick to check for moist crumbs.
  • Let brownies cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Use either active or discard sourdough starter. Natural release in pressure cooker is highly recommended for perfect texture.
