Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 60 g unsalted butter melted
  • 50 g vegetable oil or sunflower oil
  • 120 g dark brown sugar
  • 100 g caster sugar or white granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs large
  • 100 g sourdough discard 100% hydration
  • 120 g plain flour all-purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • 100 g white chocolate chips
  • 60 g pecan nuts roughly chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 170°C (340°F). Line a 9x9 inch (23x23 cm) baking tray with parchment paper.
  • Add the dark brown sugar and caster sugar to a large mixing bowl.
  • Pour in the melted butter and vegetable oil, then beat with an electric handheld mixer for 2–3 minutes, until the sugar starts to dissolve.
  • Add the eggs, salt, and vanilla bean paste, and beat again until the mixture looks creamy and lighter in colour.
  • Add the sourdough discard and beat just enough to combine.
  • Mix the flour and baking soda. Gently fold in the flour mixture using a spatula or wooden spoon into the wet ingredients being careful not to overmix.
  • Stir in half of the white chocolate chips and pecans.
  • Scoop the batter into the prepared baking tray and spread it out evenly. Scatter the remaining chocolate chips on top.
  • Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centre is just slightly soft. It may look cakey (puffed-up), but it will sink as it cools, creating that gooey centre.
  • Cool completely in the tray before slicing into squares.
