Notes

Storage: Keep ube brownies in an airtight container at room temp. for up to 4 days. For a chewy firm brownie, store them in the fridge instead.
Freezing: You can freeze your ube brownies in an airtight container (or cling film plus foil) for up to 3 months. Defrost then enjoy!
Top tips:
  • The cornstarchused in this recipe is a white fine flour, not a yellow coarse flour. However, sometimes this is called cornflour and the yellow version is called cornstarch, e.g. in the UK, so be sure to pick the white one!
  • Beat your sugar-butter-egg mixture thoroughly until it’s thickened and comes together to a smooth mixture.
Substitutions:
  • You can swap the cornstarch for more plain all-purpose (same amount).
  • You can swap the white chocolate chips for milk or dark semi-sweet chips.
Pan size:
  • You can swap the 8-inch square pan for a 9-inch square pan and reduce the baking time by 5mins.
  • Double up the recipe and bake these brownies in a large brownie tin for 30-35mins, (e.g. 9inch x 13inch brownie pan).
