Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 1/2 cups brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
- Mix the wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar until smooth and well combined. Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- Combine the dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Fold in the coconut and pecans: Gently fold in the shredded coconut, chopped pecans, and white chocolate chips (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Bake: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and cut: Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the blondies out of the pan. Cut into squares or bars.
- Serve: Serve the Coconut Pecan Blondies as a delicious dessert or snack. Store any leftovers in an airtight container.
Coconut Pecan Blondies are a sweet and nutty treat that’s perfect for any occasion. With their chewy texture and rich flavor, they’re sure to satisfy your cravings for something indulgent and delicious.
