Instructions

Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper to ensure the brownies don’t stick.
Melt Butter and Chocolate: In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter along with the white chocolate chips. Stir continuously until smooth and fully combined. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and eggs until light and fluffy. Add the ube extract and melted butter-chocolate mixture, stirring until smooth.
Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually fold in the gluten-free flour, stirring gently to combine without overmixing. Ensure the batter is smooth and uniformly purple.
Pour and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly with a spatula. Bake in the oven for about 27 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing into 9 or 9 squares. Enjoy as a rich dessert or snack with a glass of milk or tea.

Notes

For a vegan option, consider substituting eggs with flax eggs or other egg replacers.
Use gluten-free flour to keep the recipe gluten-free, or regular flour if gluten is not a concern.
Adjust sweetness by slightly reducing sugar if you prefer less sweet treats.
Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
Ube extract can vary in strength; start with 2 teaspoons but adjust to taste if needed.
