Toasted Coconut Brownies
Toasted Coconut Brownies are rich and fudgy brownies topped with a sticky, decadent mixture of toasted coconut, caramel, and a hint of salt. Then, chocolate syrup is drizzled over the tops of the brownies for an indulgent and irresistible treat! They are like a twist on the classic flavors of a German chocolate cake but in brownie form.

Ingredients
Brownies
- 1 ½ cups (187.5 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- ⅓ cup (39 g) Dutch-processed cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 4 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 cups (400 g) granulated sugar
- ¾ cup (1 ½ sticks / 170 g) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Topping
- 2 cups (186 g) sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 ½ cups (516 g) caramel sauce
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- chocolate syrup, for garnish
Instructions
Brownies
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal of the brownies. Set aside.
- In a large bowl whisk flour, cornstarch, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- To the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the eggs, sugar, butter, and vanilla. Mix on medium speed until light and fluffy.
- With the mixer off, add the flour mixture. Turn the mixer on low and mix until the ingredients are well combined.
- Pour brownies into the prepared baking dish and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until done. Fudgy brownies are done baking when the edges appear set, but the center is still shiny, or moist. Keep in mind that the brownies will continue to set as they cool. Near the end of baking the brownies, make the topping.
Topping
- To a medium non-stick skillet over medium-low heat, add coconut. Cook for 4-6 minutes, stirring frequently or until golden brown.
- To a medium bowl, add the toasted coconut, caramel sauce, and kosher salt. Mix well. Spread over brownies. Let the brownies cool completely.
- Drizzle with the chocolate syrup. Cut and serve.
