Ingredients

• 115 grams Unsalted butter
• 170 grams Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 200 grams Granulated sugar
• 100 grams Brown sugar
• 3 units Large eggs
• 2 tablespoons Dark rum
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 95 grams All-purpose flour
• 30 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 50 grams Shredded coconut
• 50 grams Chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and line an 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large heatproof bowl, melt the unsalted butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips together over a double boiler or in the microwave in 20-second increments, stirring in between. Allow to cool slightly.

Step 3

Whisk in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until the mixture is smooth and glossy.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time, whisking thoroughly after each addition. Then stir in the dark rum and vanilla extract.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.

Step 6

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 7

Stir in the shredded coconut and chopped pecans or walnuts (if using).

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake for 28-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Avoid overbaking for fudgier brownies.

Step 10

Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang.

Step 11

Slice into 12 equal squares and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
