These Sourdough Caramel Brownies are the perfect blend of rich chocolate, salty-sweet caramel, and that signature sourdough depth. A great way to use your discard!
1.75 cups King Arthur all-purpose flour
1 cup cocoa powder (sifted)
1 cup granulated sugar
0.75 cup brown sugar
1 tsp baking powder
0.5 tsp salt
0.66 cup avocado oil
4 eggs (room temperature)
2 tsp vanilla essence
0.5 cup sourdough starter
1 cup Ghirardelli semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup granulated sugar (for caramel)
0.75 cup heavy whipping cream
1. Make the caramel: Melt 1 cup sugar in a saucepan over medium heat until amber. Remove from heat and whisk in heavy cream. Set aside to cool.
2. Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13 or 8×8 inch pan.
3. Whisk flour, cocoa, sugars, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, oil, vanilla, and sourdough starter until emulsified.
5. Fold wet ingredients into dry until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
6. Spread 2/3 of batter into pan. Drizzle caramel sauce over the top.
7. Dollop remaining batter over the caramel and bake for 26-30 minutes.
8. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before moving to a wire rack.
Don’t overmix the batter to keep them fudgy.
Use room temperature eggs to ensure the oil and starter emulsify properly.
Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
