“Gluten-Free Coconut Brownies: A Decadent Treat for All to Enjoy”

Prepare the Oven and Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and coconut sugar. Stir well until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and mix until fully combined.
Add Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, gluten-free flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in Coconut: Once the batter is smooth, fold in the shredded coconut and chocolate chips (if using). Stir until evenly distributed.
Bake the Brownies: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached (not wet batter).
Cool and Slice: Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, cut into squares and serve.
