Ingredients Needed:

1/4 cup Sourdough discard

Water

Butter

Eggs

Salt

Cream cheese

White Sugar (brown sugar can be substituted)

Note: Feel free to substitute butter with vegetable oil or coconut oil if preferred, keeping in mind it may alter the texture slightly.

How To Make:

Begin by ensuring the cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing.

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8×8 pan or pie plate by greasing it lightly.

In a large bowl, combine melted butter, sugar, vanilla extract, eggs, and sourdough discard.

In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, and salt until well combined.

In another bowl, using a hand or stand mixer, blend cream cheese, sugar, egg white, salt, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

Grease your baking pan and spread half of the chocolate brownie batter evenly across the bottom.

Sprinkle chocolate chips over the brownie batter layer.

Dollop the cream cheese mixture and remaining brownie batter over the chocolate chips layer.

Use a toothpick or knife to gently swirl the layers together to create a marbled effect.

Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 36-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting into squares for serving.
