Sourdough Dessert Recipes

Sourdough isn’t just for bread—your starter can make seriously good desserts, too. This category is full of sweet recipes that use either active starter or discard to add depth, flavor, and a little surprise to your baking. From cookies and cakes to cobblers and bars, these beginner-friendly bakes are fun, easy, and a great way to use up extra starter.

If you’ve got a sweet tooth and some discard, you’re in the right place.
