Ingredients

For the Batter

150 g Unsalted Butter Adds richness and moisture; substitute with coconut oil for a dairy-free option.
75 g Light Brown Soft Sugar Introduces a hint of caramel flavor; swapping for all white sugar will give a less pronounced taste.
130 g White Sugar Provides sweetness and structure; can use brown sugar for a deeper flavor.
1 large Egg Acts as a binder for the ingredients and contributes to the chewy texture.
2 teaspoons Ube Extract Infuses the brownies with unique purple yam flavor.
175 g All-Purpose Flour Forms the structure and body of the brownies.
2 tablespoons Cornstarch Creates a chewy texture; can be replaced with additional flour if necessary.
⅛ teaspoon Salt Enhances flavor balance.
150 g White Chocolate Chips Adds sweetness and creaminess; substitute with semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips for varied flavor.
