Ingredients
For the Brownies:
- 1 cup (150g) vegan white chocolate, chopped (use high-quality chocolate)
- 1/2 cup (120ml) coconut oil or vegan butter, melted
- 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup (50g) brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup (50g) unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
For Topping (Optional):
- Additional shredded coconut
- Extra white chocolate chunks for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Melt the White Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the vegan white chocolate along with the coconut oil or vegan butter. Heat in short bursts of 20 seconds, stirring in between, until smooth and fully combined.
- Mix Sugars and Vanilla: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted chocolate mixture with granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir until well blended.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Sift in the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the shredded coconut and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
- Pour into Baking Dish: Transfer the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly with a spatula.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and Slice: Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then lift them out using the parchment paper and let them cool completely on a wire rack before slicing into squares.
- Serve: Optionally top with extra shredded coconut or white chocolate chunks before serving.
Tips
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
- Customization: Feel free to add nuts or dried fruits for added texture and flavor.
- Fudginess Factor: For extra fudgy brownies, slightly underbake them and let them set as they cool.
