FAQ

Can I substitute the coconut oil with another type of oil?

Yes, you can substitute coconut oil with equal amounts of other oils, such as vegetable oil or melted butter, but the flavor and texture may change slightly.

Can I use regular flour instead of gluten-free flour?

Yes, you can use regular all-purpose flour if you don’t need the recipe to be gluten-free. Simply replace the gluten-free flour with the same amount of all-purpose flour.

What kind of sugar should I use?

Granulated sugar works best for this recipe, but you can also use coconut or brown sugar for a slightly different flavor and texture.

Can I make these brownies dairy-free?

How do I know when the brownies are done?

The brownies are done when the center is set, and a toothpick is inserted into the center, which comes out with a few moist crumbs but not a wet batter. This usually takes 24-30 minutes.

Can I add nuts or other mix-ins to the coconut brownies?

Absolutely! You can add chopped nuts, more chocolate chips, or even dried fruit to the batter before baking. Just be sure not to overload the batter.

How should I store these brownies?

Store the cooled brownies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. You can also freeze them for up to three months.

Can I double this recipe?

Yes, you can double the recipe. Use a 9×13-inch pan and adjust the baking time as needed. The brownies may take a few minutes longer to bake.

Can I use sweetened shredded coconut instead of unsweetened?

Yes, you can use sweetened shredded coconut if you prefer a sweeter brownie. The sweetness of the brownie will increase slightly.
