Coconut Pecan Brownies

Our friends were coming to our house for dinner, and all I had to do was make dessert! My friend brought her famous pot pie and a big spinach salad. I decided to make this coconut-pecan brownies recipe from Epicurious and they were a huge hit with everyone, especially the kids.

Coconut-Pecan Brownies

Topping Ingredients:

• ¾ cup of sweetened coconut, shredded
• ¾ cup of pecan pieces
• ¼ cup of brown sugar
• ⅛ tsp of salt
• 2 tbsp butter, melted

Brownie Ingredients:

• 1¼ sticks (10 tablespoons) unsalted butter
• 1⅓ cups granulated sugar
• 1½ tsp vanilla
• 3 large eggs
• ⅔ cup all-purpose flour
• ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder (not Dutch-process)
• ½ tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt

How to Make Coconut-Pecan Brownies:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and coat an 8×8 baking dish with cooking spray.

Make the topping by mixing all ingredients together until well combined. Set aside.

In a large saucepan melt butter over moderately low heat. Remove pan from heat and stir in sugar and vanilla.

Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well with a wooden spoon after each addition.

Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt into a separate bowl add to the sugar mixture until just combined well.

Spread batter evenly in pan.

Bake brownies in the middle of the oven for 20 minutes.

Remove from oven and add topping to the top then continue to bake for an additional 15-20 minutes or until a tester comes out of the center with crumbs adhering to it.

Cool brownies completely in a pan on a wire cooling rack before cutting. Enjoy.
