How to Make 5-Ingredient Coconut Brownies

PIN IT

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking pan with parchment paper. This helps prevent sticking and makes it easy to lift the brownies out later.

Step 2: Mix Wet Ingredients

In a bowl, whisk together coconut cream and maple syrup until smooth. Your kitchen will start smelling like heaven already—trust me, I’m always sneaking a taste here!

Step 3: Combine Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, sift together self-rising flour, cocoa powder, and coconut sugar. Sifting ensures there are no lumps and gives your brownies that perfect texture.

Step 4: Blend Everything

Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stir until just combined—don’t overmix or you’ll lose that soft fudgy texture. If using chocolate chips, fold them in now.

Step 5: Bake to Perfection

Pour the batter into your prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 20–25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean (a few crumbs are perfect!). Let it cool slightly before cutting.

Step 6: Enjoy!

Serve warm with a dollop of coconut yogurt or ice cream for a decadent treat.

Tips for Making It Perfect

• Use thick coconut cream for a fudgier texture.
• Do not overbake; the brownies continue to cook slightly as they cool.
• Allow to cool completely if you prefer clean, even slices.
• Make ahead: Batter can be stored in the fridge for 2 days before baking.

Storage Instructions

• Room Temp: 3 days in an airtight container.
• Fridge: Up to 1 week.
• Freezer: Wrap individually and freeze for 2–3 months. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
