Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups shredded sweetened coconut
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- 0.5 teaspoon almond extract
- 0.5 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until melted and smooth. Let cool slightly.
Whisk in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until smooth. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 20 minutes, then remove from the oven.
While the brownies are baking, mix the coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and almond extract in a bowl until fully combined.
Carefully spread the coconut mixture over the partially baked brownies, creating an even layer.
Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the coconut layer is lightly golden and set.
Remove from the oven and allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil together in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cooled brownies. Let the chocolate set before slicing into bars.
Serve and enjoy your Coconut Brownie Bars!
