Ingredients
Scale

- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (113 g), melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup sweetened coconut flakes
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 350°F and prepare an 8-inch square baking dish with a light grease coating.
- Combine cocoa powder, flour, granulated sugar, and salt in a mixing bowl, whisking thoroughly to eliminate any lumps.
- Gently melt butter and incorporate eggs and vanilla extract, stirring until smooth and well-blended.
- Pour the liquid mixture into dry ingredients, stirring carefully until just incorporated; avoid overmixing.
- Softly fold chocolate chips into the batter, distributing them evenly throughout.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it uniformly with a spatula.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, monitoring until a toothpick inserted near the center reveals moist crumbs.
- Allow brownies to cool completely in the pan for approximately 15-20 minutes.
- Create a coating mixture by combining powdered sugar and coconut flakes in a shallow dish.
- Cut cooled brownies into square portions.
- Delicately roll each brownie square in the coconut mixture, ensuring complete coverage.
- Arrange coated brownies on a serving plate and enjoy the decadent treat.
Notes
- Soften butter slightly before mixing for smoother batter consistency and easier blending.
- Use high-quality dark cocoa powder for richer, more intense chocolate flavor that elevates the entire dessert.
- Toast coconut flakes briefly before coating to enhance nutty, caramelized undertones and create more depth in the final texture.
- For gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with almond or coconut flour, ensuring careful measurement to maintain brownie structure.
