I was recently invited to take part in Sourdough Surprises but unfortunately their reveal day is the same day as my Group C reveal day for SRC. So as to not ‘miss’ out on this month’s challenge, I decided to go ahead and make the sourdough chocolate brownies, and post the recipe even though I have not joined the linky party. I am so in love with my sourdough that I will try and make anything using it. I will follow the group each month to see what their challenge is, so be sure to follow me if you want to see my progress with using my sourdough starter. These brownies are an adaptation of my trusty recipe and had a lovely deep note of chocolate to them. I used marshmallows for the ooey gooey aspect and I can tell you that there are very moreish – make a batch at the peril of your own waistline, or make them when you know you can share them out among friends and family.
do you like your brownies plain or with an addition of something else?

Ooey gooey perfection, I really want to try sourdough brownies 🙂
Love your idea of using marshmallows!

The marshmallows make all the difference 🙂
I’ve only ever made brownies on a few occasions, they are usually too sweet for my palette, although a sour dough version sounds lovely.
Hope you have arrived safely and enjoying your holiday.
🙂 Mandy xo
These are not overly sweet but they are rich! We are safe and sound and loving Venice 🙂
I’m a great fan of brownies and these look great – sticky and chocolatey: what more could you ask of a brownie.
They tick all the boxes Roger 🙂
I like it plain I think or with nuts.
I like nuts as well!
Are you already back from your holiday?
Your brownies look perfect to me! I love the added marshmellows & the sourdough in here! I don’t think that I ever tasted a brownie with sourdough in it! They must taste perfect! 🙂 xxx
We are still in Italy! These brownies were perfect Sophie 🙂
These look really yummy, Tandy. I like mine with nuts and Hershey’s chocolate chips of course.:)
I shall have to get you to send me some of those chocolate chips AD 🙂
I am definitely intrigued by the idea of a sourdough brownie and I reckon the addition of marshmallows makes them all the better.
I shall bring you some starter as your welcome to Cape Town gift!
It’s amazing the things you can do with sourdough! very cool!
Very cool indeed!
Tandy, do you think the sourdough improved the recipe? They certainly look very moreish! xx
The sourdough added to the taste and kept them moist for longer 🙂
I like my brownies with nuts, although a rarely bake them…so interesting with the sourdough starter…love it gooey!
Have a great week Tandy 🙂
They have to be gooey! Have a super week as well 🙂
I’ll take plain brownies!
I shall make a batch for you!
