HOW TO MAKE THIS COCONUT BROWNIES RECIPE
FOR THE FIRST BROWNIE LAYER
STEP ONE: In a medium-sized mixing bowl whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Set it aside.
STEP TWO: In a small bowl, stir together the mini chocolate chips and the teaspoon of flour. Set it aside.
PRO TIP: Here’s a fabulous baker’s secret, coating the chocolate chips in flour before folding them into the batter will prevent them from sinking to the bottom of your cake or squares! They will remain suspended in the batter while baking.
STEP THREE: In a medium-sized mixing bowl whisk together the melted and cooled butter, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract.
STEP FOUR: Using a wooden spoon, mix the flour mixture into the wet ingredients and stir just until the mixture is well combined.
STEP FIVE: Fold in the mini chocolate chips.
STEP SIX: Evenly spread ½ of the brownie batter into the prepared 8×8 baking dish lined with parchment paper.
PRO TIP: Lining the pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil will allow you to lift the entire baked brownies out of the pan for easier cutting once cooled. You can also grease the pan instead if you would prefer.
FOR THE COCONUT LAYER
STEP ONE: In a small mixing bowl stir together the coconut flakes, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla, and salt until the ingredients are well combined.
STEP TWO: Using a silicone spatula or an offset spatula, evenly spread the coconut filling carefully over the top of the bottom brownie layer.
FOR THE SECOND BROWNIE LAYER
STEP ONE: Spread the remaining ½ of the brownie batter over the top of the coconut filling.
STEP TWO: Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 35 to 40 minutes.
PRO TIP: Do not over-bake the brownies to ensure they are yummy and fudgy.
STEP THREE: Allow the brownies to completely cool before slicing 4 across and 4 down servings, about 2 in x 2 in squares.
PRO TIP: It is essential that the brownies are completely cooled before slicing. Brownies will crumble if they are too warm when cut.
