Ingredients

Scale

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Add chocolate chips: Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter to ensure every blondie has a delicious burst of chocolate.
  5. Spread batter in pan: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly using a spatula.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
