Coconut Macaroon Brownie Bites

A delightful combination of rich brownie and crunchy coconut in a convenient bite-sized treat.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, plus more for greasing the pan
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup shredded coconut
  • 1/2 cup chopped macadamia nuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a mini muffin tin with butter.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and cocoa powder. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  4. Beat in eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually mix in the flour mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in chocolate chips, shredded coconut, and chopped macadamia nuts.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the mini muffin tin cups.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.
  9. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before serving.

Tips and Variations

  • To enhance the coconut flavor, sprinkle shredded coconut on top of the brownies before baking.
  • For an extra crunchy texture, add chopped pecans or walnuts to the batter.
  • Store leftover brownie bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
