Brownie Batter

• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 ⅓ cups white chocolate chips
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon ube extract
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup gluten free flour

Instructions

1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Line an 8 inch by 8 inch baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make removal easier.
2. Melt Butter and Chocolate: In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and white chocolate chips. Stir continuously until the mixture is creamy and smooth. If the chocolate chips are not fully melted, briefly microwave the bowl in 15-second increments, stirring in between, to achieve a smooth consistency.
3. Add Sugar, Ube Extract, and Eggs: Stir granulated sugar, ube extract, and eggs into the butter and white chocolate mixture until all ingredients are thoroughly combined, forming a smooth batter.
4. Incorporate Gluten-Free Flour: Gradually add the gluten free flour to the wet ingredients. Stir gently until the batter has a creamy consistency without any lumps.
5. Transfer Batter and Smooth: Pour the prepared batter into the lined baking pan. Use a spatula to smooth it into an even layer to ensure consistent baking.
6. 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 into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached, indicating a moist but fully cooked brownie.
7. Cool and Slice: Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for at least one hour. Once cool, lift out the brownies using the parchment paper and slice into squares for serving.

Notes

• Ensure the white chocolate and butter mixture is smooth to avoid lumps in the batter.
• Do not overbake to keep brownies moist; start checking at 24 minutes.
• Use parchment paper for easy removal and clean edges.
• Ube extract can be adjusted slightly depending on desired flavor intensity.
• These brownies are naturally gluten free but always verify flour blend ingredients to ensure no cross-contamination.
