Ingredients
  

For the Brownie Base
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter Substitution: Use the same amount of coconut oil for a dairy-free version.
  • 1 cup Light Brown Sugar Substitution: Replace with all white sugar for less caramel note.
  • 1/2 cup Granulated White Sugar Note: Caster sugar is ideal for a smoother mix.
  • 1 large Egg Ensure the egg is at room temperature for best results.
  • 2 teaspoons Ube Extract Alternative: Use ube powder for a more intense flavor but adjust liquid ingredients accordingly.
  • 1 cup Plain All-Purpose Flour Substitution: Gluten-free all-purpose flour can be used.
  • 2 tablespoons Cornstarch Substitution: Replace with an equal amount of regular flour if unavailable.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt This is optional but recommended for balanced taste.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Ube Brownies
  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease an 8-inch square baking pan thoroughly with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a heatproof bowl, melt the unsalted butter in the microwave in 30-second intervals until completely melted.
  3. Stir in both light brown sugar and granulated white sugar until the mixture is smooth and thickened, about 2 minutes.
  4. Add the large egg and ube extract to the bowl, mixing vigorously until combined.
  5. Sift together the plain all-purpose flour and cornstarch into the bowl, gently folding until just combined.
  6. Add salt and white chocolate chips, folding them gently into the batter.
  7. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until there is a slight wobble in the center.
  9. Cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely before cutting.
