Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup caramel sauce

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Add-ins

  • 1 cup shredded coconut
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the brownies.
  2. Prepare Baking Pan: Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan thoroughly to prevent the brownies from sticking.
  3. Melt Butter: In a saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat until fully liquid.
  4. Combine Sugars: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until the mixture is smooth and combined.
  5. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time along with the vanilla extract, ensuring a well-mixed, smooth batter.
  6. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt evenly.
  7. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined to avoid overmixing.
  8. Fold in Coconut and Chocolate Chips: Carefully fold in the shredded coconut and chocolate chips to distribute evenly throughout the batter.
  9. Spread Batter: Pour and spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan to ensure uniform baking.
  10. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  11. Cool and Add Caramel: Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before drizzling the caramel sauce evenly over the top for a gooey finish.

Notes

  • Make sure to not overmix the batter to keep the brownies fudgy.
  • Allow the brownies to cool fully before adding caramel to prevent it from melting too much and sliding off.
  • Use unsweetened shredded coconut for the best balance of sweetness and texture.
  • For extra richness, warm the caramel slightly before drizzling.
  • Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer shelf life.
