Ube Brownies

Ube Brownies are a vibrant twist on traditional brownies, combining the unique flavor of ube, a purple yam from the Philippines, with classic fudgy texture for a delightful dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (or coconut oil)
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend)
  • 1/2 cup ube halaya or ube extract
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/4 cup coconut milk (optional)

Instructions

  1. Melt the butter in a pan.
  2. Add the sugar and blend until creamy.
  3. Crack in the eggs one by one, mixing well.
  4. Add ube halaya and ube extract, stir gently to combine.
  5. In a separate bowl, mix the dry ingredients.
  6. Fold the dry mixture into the wet mixture until just combined.
  7. Pour the mixture into a lined baking pan.
  8. Bake until the top is set and edges are crispy, about 25-30 minutes.
  9. Let cool before cutting into squares.

Notes

For richer flavor, consider adding white chocolate chips. Ensure you don’t overbake—brownies should feel slightly sticky when tested with a toothpick.
