Coconut Brownies
Coconut Brownies are a comforting, rich dessert that combines the fudgy texture of chocolate with the sweetness of coconut flakes, offering a decadent treat for both chocolate and coconut lovers.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking pan, or line it with parchment paper.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in granulated sugar and brown sugar until combined.
- Once the butter and sugar mixture has cooled slightly, whisk in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt together. Gradually add this dry mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring gently just until combined.
- Fold in the sweetened shredded coconut gently.
- Pour the brownie batter into your prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Let the Coconut Brownies cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, slice into squares.
Notes
Use fresh ingredients for better flavor. Check for doneness a few minutes before the suggested baking time. Let cool completely before cutting.
