For the Brownies

  • 1 cup White Chocolate Chips Opt for chips that melt easily or substitute with white chocolate bars.
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar Sweetens the brownies and enhances their flavor.
  • 1 tbsp Ube Extract Delivers the distinct flavor and vibrant color of ube; ube halaya can be used.
  • 2 large Eggs Essential for binding the ingredients together; no substitutes recommended.
  • 1 cup Gluten-Free Flour Provides the structure of the brownies; regular flour can be used if not gluten-free.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine your unsalted butter and white chocolate chips. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  3. Once melted, mix in the granulated sugar, ube extract, and eggs until glossy and combined.
  4. Gradually fold in the gluten-free flour until just combined, ensuring a slightly thick batter.
  5. Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top into an even layer.
  6. Bake for 24-27 minutes, checking for moist crumbs with a toothpick.
  7. Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for about an hour before lifting out and slicing.
