This coconut brownies recipe is perfect for Easter! An ultra fudgy, chocolatey brownie with a boost of coconut from coconut oil, and an extra level of crunch from crispy toasted coconut.

Ingredients
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 pinch salt
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup flour
Topping:
- Toasted shredded coconut see notes
- Mini chocolate Eggs (for the Easter theme)
Notes
- The secret to the boost of coconut flavor in the brownies is also the secret to an ultra fudgy texture - coconut oil. If you've ever read about coconut oil, then you know how good it is.
- It's actually a great way to add good fats into your diet, and you can cook/bake with it all you want too because it has a nice high smoking point.
- Above all, it has an incredibly sweet taste of coconut. So it's my pick for maximum benefits and coconut flavor for these crispy coconut chocolate fudge brownies.
- To make toasted coconut, you'll need shredded coconut (again sweetened or unsweetened), and you'll place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and simply toast them in a 350-degree oven for about 15-20 mins while stirring them halfway.
- So these crispy coconut shreds as simple as they are, add A LOT to the chocolate fudge brownies! They add an unbeatable delicate crunch which is perfect with the fudgy smooth brownie texture.
- And they add an extra bit of coconut flavor which is different from the coconut oil. Plus as an Easter theme, they make this beautiful shape of a nest which I lay on some mini chocolate eggs!
- I made these coconut chocolate fudge brownies in my good old muffin pan (which I lined with parchment paper—because yes these are ABSOLUTELY extremely fudgy!!!!).
- Make your own coconut shreds: Take sweetened or unsweetened coconut and spread it on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Toast them in a 350-degree oven for about 15-20mins and toss them a few times during toasting for even browning.
- These brownies can be made in any shape and form you like. I love everything in “mini” form BUT these brownies can be made in a regular 8-inch square pan and cut up into squares. Or, use a circular pan and cut them up into wedges.
- Line the muffin tin! These brownies are seriously fudgy and you might have trouble getting them out of the mold!
