Equipment

Square Baking Tin (9 x 9 inches)

Ingredients

110 g Butter (melted)
220 g Dark Brown Sugar (see notes for light brown sugar)
2 Eggs (separated into whites and yolks)
5 g Vanilla Extract
100 g Sourdough Starter (active or discard)
3 g Baking Powder (½ tsp)
3 g Baking Soda (½ tsp)
3 g Salt (just a pinch)
120 g All Purpose Flour
100 g White Chocolate Chips (see notes for alternatives)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350F (175C) and line a 9 x 9 inch square pan with baking paper (you can butter and flour the pan if you prefer).
Whisk together the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Set aside while you assemble the other ingredients.
Whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar (I've just used a fork for this step).
Now add the egg yolks, vanilla and molasses (if you are using it) and whisk until combined.
Now add the all purpose flour, sourdough starter, baking powder, baking soda, salt and white chocolate chips. Stir until they are just combined (don't over mix).
Now gently fold in the egg whites until just combined.
Pour the sourdough blondie batter into the prepared pan and place into the oven. Bake for 25 minutes at 350F (175C) until golden (insert a skewer into the blondies to see if it comes out clean).
Allow the blondies to cool in the tin before cutting into squares to serve.

Notes

Brown Sugar - dark brown sugar is best for these sourdough blondies, but if you only have light brown sugar, add 20g of molasses to give some added depth of flavor. If you really love the flavor of molasses, you could even add it with dark brown sugar for a richer caramel flavor.
