Chocolate Coconut Brownies
Yields: 16 to 20 brownies
 
Ingredients
  • ½ cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup flour
  • ½ cup cocoa powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup sweetened flaked coconut, divided
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray an 8-inch baking pan with baking spray and set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk flour, cocoa powder and baking powder.
  3. In a medium bowl, cream melted coconut oil, sugar and vanilla. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  4. Gradually add flour mixture to sugar mixture, beating until well-blended. Fold in ¾ cup coconut and pour mixture into prepared baking pan. Sprinkle remaining coconut over the top.
  5. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs (not runny wet, but you don't want it dry!) and the brownies begin to pull away from the sides of the pan. Remove to a wire rack to cool in the pan completely. Cut into squares and serve.
