Ingredients
  

Brownie Batter
  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter Provides moisture and richness; substitute with margarine for a dairy-free option.
  • 1 cup Light Brown Soft Sugar Adds a hint of caramel flavor; can be replaced with all white sugar for simplicity.
  • 1 cup White Sugar Supplies sweetness and structure; coconut sugar works for a healthier alternative.
  • 1 Large Egg Binds the ingredients; use flaxseed meal mixed with water for vegan option.
  • 1 tsp Ube Extract The star ingredient providing distinct nutty sweetness.
  • 1 cup Plain All-Purpose Flour Gives structure and texture; swap for a gluten-free blend if needed.
  • 2 tbsp Cornstarch Contributes to chewy texture; use equal flour if unavailable.
  • 1/4 tsp Salt Enhances flavor; feel free to omit if watching sodium.
  • 1 cup White Chocolate Chips Adds sweetness and creamy texture; consider dairy-free options.
Optional Swirl
  • 4 oz Cream Cheese Blend with sugar and egg yolk for a delightful cream cheese swirl.

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and prepare an 8-inch square baking pan by greasing and lining it with parchment paper.
  2. Melt the unsalted butter in a heatproof bowl in the microwave for 30 to 50 seconds.
  3. Combine the light brown sugar and white sugar with the melted butter, whisking until smooth.
  4. Add the large egg and ube extract, beating vigorously until well combined.
  5. Sift in the all-purpose flour and cornstarch, gently folding them in until just combined.
  6. Incorporate the salt and white chocolate chips, mixing until evenly distributed.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the center has a slight wobble but is set around the edges.
  9. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before slicing.
