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 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.

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.
