Sourdough Desserts

These sourdough dessert recipes are a delicious twist on classic desserts and sweet treats like cookies, cakes, cobbler, and quick breads.

By adding a bit of tangy flavor from sourdough, you can make treats like brownies, cookies, cakes, and cinnamon rolls that stand out.

The sourdough starter discard gives desserts a light, fluffy texture while still keeping them rich and satisfying. If you enjoy baking and want to explore new flavors, these sourdough desserts are a great way to mix things up in the kitchen!
