Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 ⅓ cups white chocolate chips
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp ube extract
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup gluten free flour
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line an 8 inch by 8 inch baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make for easy removal of the brownies.
- Melt Butter and White Chocolate: In a mixing bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter with the white chocolate chips. Stir thoroughly until the mixture becomes creamy and smooth. If the white chocolate does not fully melt, microwave the mixture in short bursts, stirring between each until fully melted and creamy.
- Add Sugar, Ube Extract, and Eggs: Stir in the granulated sugar, ube extract, and eggs into the butter and white chocolate mixture. Mix well to combine all the ingredients into a smooth batter.
- Incorporate Gluten-Free Flour: Add the gluten free flour to the wet ingredients. Stir until the batter becomes creamy and well-blended, with no visible flour pockets.
- Transfer Batter and Smooth: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared 8×8 inch pan. Use a spatula to spread it evenly into a uniform layer to ensure even baking.
- Bake the Brownies: Place the pan into the preheated oven and bake for 24 to 27 minutes. The brownies are done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs clinging to it.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan for about one hour before slicing. This cooling step allows the brownies to set and makes them easier to cut into neat squares.
Notes
- You can microwave the butter and chocolate mixture in 20-second intervals to prevent burning.
- Ensure the eggs are at room temperature for better mixing and texture.
- Use parchment paper that extends over the sides to lift the brownies out easily after baking.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
- For a more intense ube flavor, consider adding a little more ube extract, but adjust according to taste.
