Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup active sourdough starter (unfed)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
Dry Ingredients
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Add-ins
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prep your pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and granulated sugar. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated. Add the active sourdough starter and stir until evenly blended.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Add chocolate chips: Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter to ensure every blondie has a delicious burst of chocolate.
- Spread batter in pan: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly using a spatula.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and serve: Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. This resting time helps them set perfectly for clean slices.
Notes
- Use an unfed (discard) sourdough starter for a subtle tang without overpowering the sweetness.
- Ensure the melted butter has cooled slightly to prevent cooking the eggs if used in variations.
- Feel free to swap semi-sweet chocolate chips for dark or white chocolate based on preference.
- For nutty variation, add 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans with the chocolate chips.
- Store blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
