Preparation
- Preheat your oven and prepare your baking pan by greasing it lightly or lining it with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Whisk together until well mixed.
- In another bowl, cream the softened butter and brown sugar until smooth and somewhat fluffy.
- Crack the egg into the butter and sugar mixture, then add the vanilla extract and stir until combined.
- Gently fold the sourdough discard into the butter, sugar, and egg mixture until just incorporated.
- Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, folding gently until no streaks of flour remain.
- Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the blondie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake until the edges are golden and the center is set but soft.
- Allow the blondies to cool in the pan briefly before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For best results, avoid overmixing, ensure butter is softened, and allow blondies to cool completely before slicing.
