Total Time 8 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1/2 cup sourdough discard
  • 3 cups oats
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup raisins (can also sub chocolate chips)
  • Optional 1/2 cup walnuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat to 350 degrees.
  2. In a stand mixer with paddle attachment, cream butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar together for a few minutes until light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides on occasion to fully incorporate all ingredients.
  3. Add the eggs in one at a time and mix until well incorporated.
  4. Add vanilla and sourdough discard and mix until just combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine the oats, flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.
  6. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients about 1/3 at a time, then mix until just incorporated.
  7. Fold in raisins and gently combine them into the dough.
  8. Spoon onto a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes or until the edges begin to turn golden.

Notes

  • For long fermentation, simply place the dough in a lidded bowl and keep in the refrigerator for three days. Bake according to the directions.
  • You can use sourdough discard or active sourdough starter. Discard will give you a more tangy flavor.
  • Add walnuts for a little extra crunch, or for the ultimate decadent treat, add chocolate chips. Yum!
