Ube Brownies

These fudgy Ube Brownies are made with less than 10 ingredients. They are rich, chewy and packed with ube or purple yam flavour.

WHY IS IT COLOUR PURPLE?

This Ube Brownies are made with pure purple yam. I just love this purple colour, what a beauty! Purple Yam Sweet Potatoes taste different from just normal yam. They have a denser texture, slightly nuttier and sweeter. Above all, I really fall in love with the colour.

INGREDIENTS NEEDED FOR UBE BROWNIES

INGREDIENT NOTES

• Ube/Purple Yam: I am using pure Ube/Purple Yam and mashed them. You can also buy Ube Jam at Filipino or Asian Store instead.
• Butter: for this recipe, we are using unsalted butter.
• Flour: all purpose flour is used for this recipe.
• Chocolate: topped with melted chocolate chips for chocolatey flavour. This is optional but I suggest to add it.
• Sugar: granulated white sugar, brown sugar or coconut sugar will work fine. For this recipe, we are using white sugar. If you are using Ube Jam, sugar should be adjusted because the jam is already sweet.
• Salt: to balance the sweetness.

STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS

First, we make Ube or Purple Yam puree by boiling them in 30 minutes or until soft and tender. Once cooked, remove the skin and mash. You can also use food processor instead of masher.

In a mixing bowl, add wet ingredients. Combine butter, eggs and vanilla extract first. Then add mashed ube/purple yam.

In a separate bowl, mixed dry ingredients flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Stir in dry ingredients gradually over wet ingredients. Mix everything until evenly distributed.

Add the batter to a preferred pan and bake for 15 minutes.

Lift the ube brownies out of the pan using the edges of the parchment paper. Add melted chocolate on top for chocolatey flavour. Let it cool and slice into 9 brownies. Share and enjoy!

NOTES & TIPS

• Can I use ube halaya jam store bought? Sure, you can actually find them in Filipino or Asian Store. They are quite pricey. But you can find purple sweet potato in a grocery store if no access to Filipino store nearby.
• Can I add cocoa powder for this recipe? Yes, feel free to add them but not too much. You don't want to overpower the cocoa taste.
• Don't like dark chocolate? You can skip chocolate or substitute it with white chocolate.
