Ingredients:

1 cup butter
220g
1.50 cups sugar
340g
4 eggs
200g
1.50 cups all-purpose white wheat flour
190g
1/2 cup dried coconut meat
72g
2 tbsp lemon zest
30g
1/4 cup lemon juice
50g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Melt the Butter:
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly.
3. Mix Sugar and Butter:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and sugar. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
4. Add Eggs:
Add the eggs to the butter-sugar mixture one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
5. Combine Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and dried coconut meat.
6. Add Dry Ingredients to Wet:
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
7. Add Lemon Zest and Juice:
Fold in the lemon zest and lemon juice into the batter, making sure they are evenly distributed.
8. Pour Batter into Pan:
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
9. Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
10. Cool and Serve:
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.
