Serving Size: 16

Cooking Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

• 1.5 Cups (cups) all-purpose flour
• 0.33 Cup (cups) unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.33 Cup (cups) flaked coconut
• 0.5 Cup (cups) semisweet chocolate chips
• 0.75 Cup (cups) white sugar
• 0.33 Cup (cups) pecans, minced
• 0.67 Cup (cups) brown sugar, packed
• 2 Large eggs
• 0.67 Cup (cups) vegetable oil
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) vanilla extract

Steps

1. Prepare the Jar: In a 1-quart jar, layer the flour, cocoa powder, flaked coconut, chocolate chips, white sugar, minced pecans, and packed brown sugar. Pack each layer firmly before adding the next. This makes a beautiful gift presentation.
2. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8 inch square baking pan with butter or non-stick spray.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
4. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Pour the contents of the jar into the bowl with the wet ingredients. Stir until the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are well incorporated.
5. Bake: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs but not wet batter.
6. Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, cut into 16 squares and serve. Enjoy the rich, chewy texture with a delightful crunch in every bite.
