Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup sourdough discard

- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8 inch baking pan.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
- Once melted, remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the sugar, eggs, and vanilla until well combined.

Notes
For a healthier twist, use coconut oil instead of butter and reduce the sugar. They pair well with ice cream or fresh berries.
