Step-by-Step Instructions for Ube Brownies

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease an 8-inch square baking pan.
Melt ½ cup of unsalted butter in the microwave for about 30 to 50 seconds until completely melted.
Whisk in ¾ cup of light brown sugar and ½ cup of white sugar until smooth and thickened.
Beat in one large egg, then mix in 2 teaspoons of ube extract until fully combined.
Sift in 1 cup of all-purpose flour and ¼ cup of cornstarch, gently stirring until just mixed.
Fold in a pinch of salt and 1 cup of white chocolate chips, ensuring even distribution.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and level the top with a spatula.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, looking for a slight wobble in the center.
Remove the brownies from the oven and cool completely in the pan before slicing.
