These brownies are seriously delicious. They are full of chocolate goodness that is topped with shredded coconut!. Yummy!
brownies:
1 stick unsalted butter
1/2 c. sugar
1/4 t. salt
1 large egg
1/4 c. unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 c. all-purpose flour
topping:
2 large eggs
3/4 c. sugar
1 t. vanilla extract
1 c. all-purpose flour
7 oz. package sweetened shredded coconut, divided, 1/2 c. set aside for sprinkling
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a 9 x 9 square baking pan with parchment paper with overhanging sides to easily remove brownies from the pan. Spray the paper with non-stick cooking spray.
Melt butter in the microwave in a large microwavable bowl. Whisk in sugar, salt, and the egg. When well-combined, whisk in the cocoa powder and then fold in the flour. Spread batter evenly in the pan.
Bake about 15 minutes, until it starts to look cooked around the edges. Do not over bake! Set aside and make the topping.
topping:
Whisk the 2 eggs with sugar and vanilla; fold in the flour and the coconut, reserving the 1/2 cup that was set aside.
Drop the coconut mixture in small mounds all over the brownie layer, using a small scoop to portion out small mounds. Sprinkle with the reserved coconut.
Bake 25 - 30 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
