Total Time40 minutes
Course: Dessert
Cuisine: American
Servings: 48

Ingredients

  • 1 cup sourdough starter, ripe (fed) or discard
  • 1 cup milk (whole milk, 2% or evaporated milk
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup canola oil (or other mild oil)
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 3/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 2 tsp instant coffee
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup peanut butter chips (you can replace this chocolate chips)

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, mix the starter, milk, and flour; cover and let rest at room temperature for 1.5 to 2 hours. 
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prepare a mini-muffin pan (this will make 4 dozen mini muffins but you could also bake this in a 9 x 13-inch baking pan) but spraying with cooking spray.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat together the sugar, oil, vanilla, salt, baking soda, cocoa and instant coffee.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • In three additions, add the sourdough mixture into the wet chocolate mixture and keep mixing until fully incorporated; this will seem inconsistent at first, but the batter will smooth out as you continue to beat gently.
  • Add in the chips and continue to mix until incorporated well; spoon the batter (about one heaping tablespoonful) into the prepared pan.
  • Bake the bites for 20 minutes, until it springs back when lightly pressed in the center, and a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean.
