Instructions

  • Line an 8x8 inch pan with parchment paper or grease it well.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt butter with 1 cup of chocolate chips in 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
  • Stir in granulated sugar and brown sugar until combined.
  • Whisk in eggs and vanilla extract until the batter is smooth.
  • Fold in the sourdough discard gently.
  • Sift in cocoa powder and flour. Fold gently to combine without overmixing.
  • Add remaining ¼ cup of chocolate chips and fold lightly.
  • Pour batter evenly into prepared pan and place it on a trivet inside your pressure cooker.
  • Pour broth into the cooker below the trivet, seal lid, and cook for 28–32 minutes on high pressure.
  • Use quick release when cooking ends and let brownies cool in pan before slicing.

Notes

Allow the brownies to cool fully before slicing for clean cuts. These are super fudgy so best enjoyed warm or at room temp.
