Coconut Brownies

We all love classic Chocolate Brownies. They are easy, made in less than an hour, and, just like this new Brownie Recipe, you can easily adjust them for what you are craving!

COCONUT BROWNIES

Chocolate and coconut are a delicious flavor combo that doesn’t get the recognition it deserves! Mocha coconut is an amazing coffee drink, Mounds (and Almond Joys) are delightful, and Chocolate Covered Macaroons are downright addicting. These Chocolate Coconut Brownies are more proof this is one of the best flavor combos!

There is so much to love about rich, chocolatey Coconut Brownies. These easy Coconut Brownies are ready for the oven in minutes and ready to gobble up in less than an hour. You’ll love the simple ingredients, most you have in your pantry, and that they are made in just one bowl.

There are sweetened coconut flakes inside and out of Coconut Brownies, so you get that sweet, tropical flavor in every bite. An added bonus of sweetened shredded coconut is that it makes these fudgy brownies incredibly moist. These chewy double chocolate Coconut Brownies are made even better with chocolate chips!

These tasty Coconut Brownies are great plain with a cold glass of milk or a cup of Hot Chocolate in the wintertime. And of course, what warm brownie isn’t made better with big scoop Vanilla Ice Cream? These delicious brownies also make great holiday gifts, just wrap them up in festive cellophane or gift box.

VARIATIONS ON COCONUT BROWNIES

• Toasted Coconut: Toast your coconut for more flavor! Easily toast coconut in the oven at 325 degrees F for about 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally to toast evenly.
• Chocolate Chips: Use any of your favorite baking chips like dark chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, or peanut butter chips instead of semi-sweet chocolate chips.
• Nuts: You can add 1/2 cup of toasted almonds, pecans, cashews, or walnuts, chopped to small pieces. The smaller you chop the nuts, the easier cutting the baked brownies will be.
• Caramel: Make these taste like those famous Girl Scout cookies by swirling Salted Caramel Sauce after the brownie batter is in the pan. Or you could also fold in a 1/2 cup caramel chips instead the chocolate chips.
• Cherry: Chocolate, cherry, and coconut taste amazing together! Stir in chopped fresh or frozen cherries into the brownie batter. Make sure to thaw and drain frozen cherries before adding.
• Coconut Stuffed Brownies: Prepare the brownie batter as usual, then prepare a chewy coconut layer. Mix 4 cups sweetened shredded coconut, 1 can sweetened condensed milk, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract. Pour half the brownie batter into the baking pan, top with coconut mixture, then add the remaining batter. Top with remaining coconut and bake for 40 minutes.
