Equipment

brownie baking pan

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup ube halaya
  • 1 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon ube extract
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F or 175°C and grease your brownie pan.
  • Melt your butter in the microwave. Combine ube halaya, ube extract, melted butter, and eggs in a bowl. Stir until everything is well blended.
  • In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar.
  • Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients gradually. Don't overmix your batter.
  • Pour your batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
  • Allow the ube brownies to cool completely before cutting them into squares.

Notes

Recipe Notes:

  • Sift your dry ingredients to avoid lumps.
  • Consider adding toppings like chopped nuts, shredded coconut, white chocolate, or a drizzle of ube glaze to make the brownies more festive for special occasions.
  • Consider adding a bit more mashed ube, ube halaya, or ube extract to intensify the flavor. Adjust the quantity according to your preferences.
  • If you want a less sweet dessert, reduce the amount of sugar in this recipe.
  • Do not overcook this brownie, otherwise, it is dry and tough. Start to check your baked goods using a toothpick inserted in the middle once you smell the aroma coming from your oven. It should come out with a few crumbs.
