To make the ube brownies, preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare an 11x7-inch pan by lightly greasing and lining it with parchment. Sift the dry ingredients together and set aside. In a separate bowl, whisk the sugar and melted butter until thick and pale, then mix in the egg and ube extract until smooth. Switch to a spatula and gently fold in the dry mixture a little at a time until no flour streaks remain. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan, spread evenly, and bake for 16–18 minutes until a tester comes out clean. For a fudgier texture, bake only 14–15 minutes, allowing a few moist crumbs to cling to the tester.

Recipe Note
Ube Brownies Recipe – FAQ
1. What oven temperature should I use?
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) before starting.
2. Do I need to prepare the baking pan in a special way?
Yes. Lightly grease an 11x7-inch pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
3. Why do I need to sift the dry ingredients?
Sifting helps break up lumps, evenly combines ingredients, and ensures a smoother batter.
4. How should I mix the sugar and butter?
Whisk melted butter with sugar until the mixture becomes thick and pale in color. This step helps create the right texture.
5. When should I add the egg and ube extract?
After mixing butter and sugar, whisk in the egg and ube extract until the batter is smooth and drips evenly.
6. Why switch from a whisk to a spatula?
Using a spatula prevents overmixing once flour is added, keeping the brownies tender instead of dense.
7. How do I know I’ve folded the flour correctly?
Stop mixing once you no longer see visible streaks of flour in the batter.
8. How long should I bake the brownies?
Bake for 16–18 minutes for a classic brownie texture, or 14–15 minutes if you prefer them fudgy.
9. How do I test if the brownies are done?
Insert a toothpick or tester—clean for regular brownies, or with a few fudgy crumbs for a gooier texture.
10. Can I double the recipe?
Yes, but use a larger pan (like 9x13-inch) and adjust baking time slightly, checking doneness with a tester.
