Ingredients
Method
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with non-stick spray. Mix oil and cocoa powder in a bowl until smooth. Add softened butter and sugar, beating until fluffy. Then mix in eggs, one at a time, and vanilla. Stir in flour and salt until fully combined to form your batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the brownies to cool completely before adding the frosting.
- While the brownies bake, prepare the frosting! Combine brown sugar, granulated sugar, butter, egg yolks, and evaporated milk in a saucepan. Stir constantly over medium heat as the mixture comes to a low boil and thickens. Remove from heat and mix in vanilla, pecans, and coconut. Cool before spreading onto the brownies.
- Spread the frosting over the cooled brownies evenly. Make sure to cover every corner for a burst of delicious flavor in each bite! Chill or serve immediately, depending on your preference.
- Cut into squares or rectangles and enjoy these rich, decadent brownies with a warm cup of coffee or a scoop of ice cream. They’re a guaranteed hit!
Notes
Room Temperature Ingredients: Make sure your butter and eggs are at room temperature to mix more easily.
Avoid Overmixing: Stir your brownie batter just until the dry ingredients are combined. Overmixing can affect the texture.
Chill for Easy Frosting: If the frosting is too warm, it can slide off your brownies. Allow it to cool before spreading.
