Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened)
- 0.25 cup chocolate chips (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8x8-inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper or greasing it lightly.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips together in 30-second increments, stirring between each round until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
Gradually add the melted chocolate mixture into the sugar mixture, stirring until fully combined.
Sift the flour, cocoa powder, and salt into the wet ingredients. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the batter until just combined; do not overmix.
Fold in the shredded coconut, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
If desired, sprinkle the optional 1/4 cup of chocolate chips on top for added texture and flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs.
Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing into 12 pieces.
Serve and enjoy your Chocolate Coconut Brownies!
