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)

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.

Step 4

Gradually add the melted chocolate mixture into the sugar mixture, stirring until fully combined.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Fold in the shredded coconut, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

If desired, sprinkle the optional 1/4 cup of chocolate chips on top for added texture and flavor.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

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.

Step 11

Serve and enjoy your Chocolate Coconut Brownies!
