Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 25 mins
Total Time: 40 mins
Cuisine: Dessert
Serves: 16 brownies
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Remove from heat and whisk in sugar until well combined and slightly smooth.
- Add eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Gently fold in 3/4 cup of shredded coconut into the brownie batter, reserving the remaining 1/4 cup for topping.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle chocolate chips and remaining coconut over the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 23-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Use parchment paper to lift brownies out and cool completely on a wire rack.
- Once cooled, cut into 16 equal squares. For best texture, refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving to enhance the fudgy consistency.
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, you can measure out your ingredients and prepare the baking pan in advance. This will streamline your cooking process and make everything run smoothly.
- Melt Butter Slowly: When melting the butter, do it over low heat to prevent it from browning. This ensures the brownies maintain a rich, fudgy texture.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix just until combined. Overmixing can lead to dense brownies, while a gentle fold keeps them light and chewy.
- Customize Your Toppings: Feel free to get creative with your toppings! Add nuts, a drizzle of caramel, or even a sprinkle of sea salt for an extra flavor kick.
- Chill for Perfection: After baking, let your brownies cool completely, and for the best fudgy consistency, refrigerate them for about 30 minutes before cutting. This will enhance their texture and make them even more delicious!
