Ingredients
  

For the Blondies
  • 1 cup All Purpose Flour Substitute with gluten-free flour for a gluten-free version
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder Ensure freshness for the best rise
  • 1/2 cup Butter (Softened) Use coconut oil for a dairy-free option
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar White sugar can also be used, but blondies will be less rich
  • 1 large Egg Consider applesauce or flax eggs for a vegan option
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Opt for pure vanilla for the best results
  • 1 cup Sourdough Discard (Unfed, Inactive) An active starter can create a slightly different texture
  • 1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips Substitute with white chocolate, milk chocolate, or nuts for variation

Equipment

  • 8x8 inch square baking dish
  • Mixing bowls
  • Hand mixer
  • parchment paper

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line an 8x8 inch square baking dish with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and baking powder, stirring until fully blended.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture, and mix until fully incorporated.
  5. Stir in the unfed sourdough discard until completely blended.
  6. Gradually add the flour and baking powder mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
  7. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips gently using a spatula.
  8. Pour the batter into the lined baking dish and spread it evenly.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  10. Cool in the dish for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before cutting into squares.
