Step-by-Step Instructions for Sourdough Brownies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9 inch baking pan.
  2. Melt ½ cup of unsalted butter in a medium microwave-safe bowl and mix in granulated and brown sugar until smooth.
  3. Add 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, stirring until thick and well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips until evenly dispersed.
  7. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes; a toothpick inserted should come out with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack before slicing into squares.
