INGREDIENTS & SUBSTITUTIONS
- eggs should be at room temperature. Take them out of the refrigerator half an hour to one hour before you're ready to start making the recipe.

- once the chocolate has just started to melt, turn down the heat or remove it from the microwave and continue to stir until it has all melted.
INSTRUCTIONS
Just a few easy steps and you'll be enjoying these brownies in no time!
Start by preheating the oven to 350°F. Grease an 8x8-inch cake pan.
Melt the butter before you begin and allow it to cool at room temperature.
Beat the eggs until they are a bit frothy. Add in the sugar a little bit at a time and stir well to combine.
Next, add in the melted butter that was melted earlier. Do not stir hot butter into the eggs! The butter needs to be cooled first.
Next, add the mixed dry ingredients to the egg mixture and stir just until well-combined.
Divide the batter in half and add the coconut to one half and stir. \
Add the melted chocolate to the other half of the batter.
To a greased 8x8-inch baking dish, turn in the chocolate batter and spread to smooth as evenly as you can.
Drop the coconut batter on top and carefully spread out using a butter knife. Bake in 350°F oven for 30 to 35 minutes. Test with a toothpick at the 30 minute mark being careful not to over bake.
Cool before slicing. While some brownies are best straight from the oven, these brownies really benefit from cooling down before slicing.
STORAGE & FREEZING INSTRUCTIONS
Store brownies in a covered container for up to three days. Freeze them in a freezer-safe container for up to three months.

Notes
- Melting chocolate in the microwave - You can melt the chocolate in the microwave for one minute (depending on the microwave). You have to watch it carefully, and as soon as it starts to melt, take it out and continue stirring. The warm chocolate will cause the rest of the chocolate to soften.
- Melting chocolate on the stovetop - melt chocolate in a small saucepan over very low heat, stirring constantly and being careful not to scorch it. Once the chocolate starts to melt, turn the heat off and continue stirring. The warm, melted chocolate will melt the remaining pieces of chocolate.
- Storage & Freezing Instructions: Store brownies in a covered container for up to three days. Freeze them in a freezer-safe container for up to three months.
