Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9x13-inch baking pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
  2. Melt butter in a saucepan over low to medium heat. Stir in semi-sweet chocolate until smooth.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk eggs, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well combined and frothy for 2 to 3 minutes.
  4. Add melted chocolate mixture and sourdough discard to the egg mixture. Stir until smooth.
  5. Fold in flour, baking powder, salt, and chocolate chips until combined, being careful not to overmix.
  6. Pour batter into prepared pan and level the surface with a spatula.
  7. Bake for 35 minutes. They are done when the top appears set and a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Cool completely before slicing into squares.
