Method

  1. Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Line the base of a 21cm square tin with baking parchment. Put the cocoa, butter and sugar in your largest saucepan and gently melt, stirring so the mixture doesn't catch. When the cocoa mixture is melted and combined, cool slightly, then stir in the eggs, little by little, followed by the flour and coconut.
  2. Tip into the tin and bake for 45 mins on a middle shelf - check after 30 mins and cover with another piece of baking parchment if the crust is browning too much. Cool in the tin, then carefully lift out and cut into squares.

    Brilliant! I get so many compliments for these. I also just use the liquid butter stuff so just mix and bake- so easy and yummy :)

    The brownies are very moist but not that chocolatey. I've had better!

    My new favourite brownie recipe! Really simple to make and sumptuously delicious! Only downside is they're far too easy to eat and not that easy to share!

    Easy and very very tasty. I used goats butter and they worked just as well. I'd give them another 5 mins in the oven next time because the middle was a little undercooked for my liking. Will definitely make these again.

    Sensational brownies enjoyed with coffee during a "Christmas Symposium". Lots of favourable comments "exactly what real brownies should be like"!! A little trick you might want to try... I cooked these for 45 minutes, turned the oven off and left the tin in overnight. Next morning I had no problem cutting them into 16 pieces and they were definitely gooey and oh so delicious! Such a doodle to make.

    Delicious Brownies and very economical! Glad to have found a great brownie recipe that does not need chocolate, which can push up the costs. Chocolaty and the coconut adds great texture. Cooking time was 45 minutes exactly, although I did cover with baking parchment after 30 minutes. Highly recommended.

    This is an absolutely wonderful recipe! We personally prefer it without the coconut and instead add 75g of broken hazelnuts and 2 tablespoons of crunchy peanut butter!! I make this family favorite every week! :)

    Really yummy, easy to make. A lot of sugar, will try a little less next time. Had to bake them 10 minutes longer. Great recipe!

    A great hit with family and friends. I added a couple of tablespoons of flour and sprinkled some more coconut on the firsthalf of dough. Then baked it at a 160* C (fan) for 45 minutes and it was perfectly gooey and delicious.!

    I don't know what happened to my butter-cocoa-sugar mixture: turned-out all lumpy and grumpy... I was going to throw it away (and throw in the sponge...) but I decided to give it a try. Well: if that happens to you too, don't give up! Most lumps melted while cooking, but the few left gave these brownies some crunchiness which was not bad at all...
