Ingredients
Scale:
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup coconut flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup shredded coconut
1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking pan with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, coconut flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add the melted butter and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can affect the texture.
Fold in the shredded coconut and chocolate chips, if using, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Allow the brownies to cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before cutting into squares and serving.
