Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Batter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Topping
- 2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder. Stir these ingredients together until evenly blended.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the melted butter, crack in the eggs, and add the vanilla extract. Stir the mixture thoroughly until you have a smooth, well-combined brownie batter.
- Pour Batter into Pan: Transfer the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly using a spatula to ensure uniform thickness.
- Prepare Topping: In a separate bowl, mix the shredded sweetened coconut with the semisweet chocolate chips, combining them well to form the topping mixture.
- Apply Topping: Evenly spread the coconut and chocolate chip topping over the surface of the brownie batter in the pan.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean when the brownies are done.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares and serving.
Notes
- For a more intense coconut flavor, toast the shredded coconut lightly before mixing with chocolate chips.
- You can substitute the semisweet chocolate chips with white chocolate chips for a different flavor profile.
- Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
- Make sure not to overbake to keep the brownies moist and fudgy.
