Brown Butter Sourdough Brownies

0 Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
1 Start by browning the butter. In a small pan or skillet, add the butter and turn the heat to medium. The butter will melt and start to bubble. Once it meltes and begins to foam, stir with a spatula or whisk to keep it moving. After a few minutes, you’ll see golden-brown bits form at the bottom of the pan, and you’ll start to smell a nutty smell. Remove from the heat immediately!
2 Once the butter is browned, add remove it from the heat. Than add in 1 cup of chocolate chips. Mix until they're melted. Set aside and let cool.
3 In a medium bowl, add in the eggs and both sugars. Using a hand mixer, mix on medium high for 3-5 minutes. You want it to get light and fluffy. This really helps the texture of the brownies.
4 Then, add in the sourdough discard and vanilla extract. Mix again until incorporated. Add in the butter and chocolate mixture and mix well.
5 Sift in the cocoa powder, flour, and sea salt. Then gently fold everything in together using a rubber spatula. Be careful not to overmix.
6 Pour in ⅓ cup chocolate chips if you're using them and fold in one more time.
7 Pour the mixture into the greased pan and bake for 40-45 minutes. Top with flaky sea salt, cut, and enjoy!
