Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and sugar. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Add the eggs to the butter-sugar mixture one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and dried coconut meat.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the lemon zest and lemon juice into the batter, making sure they are evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the brownies to cool in the pan on a wire rack. Once completely cool, cut into squares and serve.
Tips:
- Ensure your butter is at room temperature for easier mixing and a smoother batter.
- Use fresh lemon zest and juice for the best flavor.
- For a more intense coconut flavor, toast the dried coconut before adding it to the batter.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter once the flour is added to prevent tough brownies.
- Line your baking pan with parchment paper for easier removal and cleaner edges.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting to ensure clean slices and perfect presentation.
