Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Unsalted butter | ½ cup |
| Light or dark brown sugar | 2 cups |
| Large eggs | 2 |
| Vanilla extract | 2 teaspoons |
| All-purpose flour | 1 ½ cups |
| Baking powder | 1 teaspoon |
| Salt | 1 teaspoon |
| Sweetened shredded coconut | 1 ½ cups |
Instructions
1. Preheat & Brown the Butter
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking pan. Place the butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. As it melts and begins to bubble, swirl the pan regularly to avoid burning. Cook until the butter turns a deep golden brown and gives off a nutty fragrance. Take it off the heat right away.
2. Combine Wet Ingredients
Stir the brown sugar into the hot browned butter until fully dissolved and smooth. Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract until the mixture is glossy and well blended.
3. Mix in Dry Ingredients & Coconut
Add the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir until just incorporated—don’t overmix. Gently fold in the shredded coconut, then spread the batter evenly in your prepared pan.
4. Bake the Blondies
Place in the oven and bake for 40–45 minutes. During the final 10 minutes, loosely cover the top with foil to prevent over-browning. Let the blondies cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
