Hi Sam! Thanks for the reply. They were moist in the middle, just like your photo. I just didn’t get the flaky brownie top. Going to make them again and see if I can get the flaky top. 🙂

Hi Erica! There is a potential the brownie mix could be over-beaten and make them cakey, but I’m not sure that happened here. Is it possible they were slightly over-baked?

Hi Sam! These brownies are delicious! A winner and I will be making them again. I followed your directions and beat the sugar and eggs on hi with an electric mixer for over a minute, 1:25 to be exact (yes, I timed it as I really wanted the crackly top). The top of my brownies did not come out shiny and crackly, they were dry looking like cake. Any advice? Should I beat them longer? The eggs were out at room temperature for about 1 hour before I started. Thank you!

Hi Angie! These are a very fudgy brownie and they are supposed to be nice and crackly on the top. Did they look anything like the photos? You can always check out the video right above the recipe for more help with what they are supposed to look like/ things to do.

I baked for 30 minutes, checked with toothpick and added another 5 minutes. There is a large crack about an inch from all sides. Are they underbaked? The edge I ate tasted great.

I’m so glad you enjoyed them so much, Amber! Sourdough is so versatile. I think you are really going to enjoy using it. 🙂

These are by far the best brownies I’ve ever made! They are fudgy and delicious. I’m new to sourdough and I’ve just started baking with my discard. The recipe was really easy to follow and they turned out perfect. I wish I could give it more than 5 stars

Updated evaluation: These are THE BEST BROWNIES I HAVE EVER HAD!!! There’s no taste of sourdough, the texture is perfectly moist and chewy (definitely not underbaked), and I love the surprise of extra chocolate chips in the batter. ❣️❣️❣️

In reply to Ghrantt.

These are OUTSTANDING!!! So chocolatey and yummy! I think I may have underbaked them a bit (about half of the batter was not cracked, but I was afraid of overbaking, and thought that it would finish baking as it cooled. (It didn’t.) But it didn’t seem to matter! it was delicious.
And, yes, please give us more sourdough discard recipes!

Hi Gabi! I’m so sorry to hear this! Did you make any substitutions? Did they stay in the oven too long to become crumbly? They shouldn’t taste a lot like a starter. 🙁

It tasted a lot like the sourdough starter, and the crust crumbled and had an odd taste to it.

Hi Cara! These can be frozen for several months. You will want to wrap them tightly like you would any other item you freeze. They will be good at room temperature in an air tight container for up to 5 days. 🙂

Hey Sam! Once again a winner! My whole family loves them! I was wondering if these can be frozen & how would I go about doing that if they can. Also, how long will they last at room temperature, in the fridge, & in the freezer?

I’m so glad you enjoyed them so much, Jeff! A thicker brownie isn’t a bad thing at all if you ask me. 🙂

Until this recipe, I would bemoan the fact that I am a brownie-a-holic. I’ve tried too many iterations that end up never being made again, and admittedly thrown out. This recipe makes all efforts worth it. Once again, Sam’s roadmap of gram weights has taken me on an outrageous/success filled journey. My sole deviation was baking the Sourdough Brownies in an 8 inch square pan, versus 9 inch, and my baking time was followed accordingly. I just happen to dig a thicker/taller brownie. I do not know if I will ever be able to tell if there was sourdough starter, and for me that is the point. It absolutely does “something”, and that is all I need to know. No over-thinking here….this is just the most fantastic confection I have enjoyed in ages and ages. So fudgy…so intensely chocolatey, and the consistency of the brownie was just wonderful. Thank you Sam, so very much for sharing this recipe…..I am hooked for life.

Hi Melody! I actually have a recipe to make your own sourdough starter that will create discard. You can do lots of different things with a sourdough starter. You may be able to buy it in a grocery store, but I have never personally found it. 🙂
