Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 °F. Line a 9″ square baking dish with aluminum foil, extending the foil over the edges to form handles, and grease the foil.

  2. Make the brownie batter. Combine the butter and sugar in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds, then whisk. Repeat this process twice more, or until all the butter is melted and the mixture looks shiny (granulated particles of sugar will still remain). Allow the mixture to cool for 5 minutes.

  3. Whisk in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the cocoa powder, salt, and vanilla extract. Stir by hand with a wooden spoon until well combined and shiny. Add in the flour and 1/2 cup of shredded coconut, folding in gently until just combined and no dry streaks of flour remain.

  4. Bake the brownies. Spread the brownie batter into the prepared pan. Bake 25 to 30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out almost clean. Leave at room temperature until cool.
