The title of the recipe

Coconut Macaroon Brownies

Servings 12-15

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (200g) unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/2 cup (100g) unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 2 cups (250g) sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 and 3/4 cups (220g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (120g) semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup (120g) chopped pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.

  2. Coconut Macaroons: In a medium bowl, mix together the shredded coconut and salt. Set aside.

  3. Brownie Batter: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.

  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.

  5. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.

  6. Add Chocolate Chips and Nuts: Stir in the chocolate chips and chopped pecans.

  7. Press in Coconut: Sprinkle the coconut mixture evenly over the batter, pressing it down to ensure even distribution.

  8. Bake: Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.

  9. Cool and Cut: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares and serving.

  10. Serve and Enjoy!
