Coconut Brownies
Ingrediënten
- 1 cup Coconut Cream - emulsifier-free, top thick part of the can of coconut cream (note 1)
- ½ cup Ahornsiroop - (notitie 2)
- ⅓ cup Zelfrijzend bakmeel - (notitie 3)
- ⅔ cup Ongezoet cacaopoeder
- ½ cup Kokos suiker - (notitie 4)
Optional – for a sweeter flavor
- ⅓ cup Donkere chocoladeschilfers - voor extra zoetheid
- ⅓ cup Geraspte kokos (ongezoet) - to boost coconut flavors
Instructies
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper. Slightly oil the paper with cooking oil spray. Set aside.
- Before you start, make sure you select a can of coconut cream that contains only 2 ingredients: coconut and water, no emulsifier, no guar gum, or preservative. You must use full-fat coconut cream because the recipe needs the fat from the top of the coconut cream to avoid butter and eggs.
- If you do chill the can, scoop out the 1 cup of thick cream you need, then let uit die 1 cup of cream sit at room temperature for 1-2 hours, or until it's no longer cold. If the cream is too cold, the cocoa powder won't dissolve properly, and the batter might be lumpy.
- Open the can, scoop out the top thick coconut fat on top and measure 1 cup. Set aside the coconut liquid in the can for a smoothie or to turn into a sauce later.
- Place the thick coconut cream in a mixing bowl with maple syrup, sifted cocoa powder, self-rising flour, and coconut sugar.
- Stir all the ingredients together until they form a smooth brownie batter.
- If you like a stronger coconut taste, stir in shredded coconut.
- Pour the batter evenly into the pan and sprinkle some chocolate chips on the top.
- Bake the brownies for 25-30 minutes at 350°F (180°C) until the top is set, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with only a little crumb on it, meaning the brownie is baked but still fudgy.
- Let the brownies cool down for 20 minutes in the pan at room temperature, then on a cooling rack for 1 hour. Pop in the fridge for another 1 hour for the best firmness and fudgy texture.

Ingrediënten en vervangingen
Voor dit recept heb je maar 5 simpele ingrediënten nodig. Hier lees je hoe je ze kunt kiezen en vervangen.

- Coconut Cream – This is the most important ingredient. It provides all the fat for the brownies, replacing the need for butter or oil, and also helps bind them like an egg. It’s essential to use the thick, fatty part from the top of an emulsifier-free can.
- Ahornsiroop – This adds moisture and the main liquid sweetness to the batter. You can also use other liquid sweeteners like agave syrup or coconut nectar, as mentioned in Note 2.
- Zelfrijzend bakmeel – This provides the structure for the brownies. It already contains a leavening agent (baking powder), which gives the brownies a slight lift. Note 3 explains how to make your own if you only have all-purpose flour.
- Ongezoet cacaopoeder – This is where all the deep, rich chocolate flavor comes from.
- Kokos suiker – This adds sweetness and a slight caramel flavor. This recipe isn’t overly sweet with just maple syrup, so this (or another granulated sweetener) helps create a more classic brownie flavor.

Carine's baktips
Let me share a few more tips for perfect brownies.
- Pas de zoetheid aan – These brownies are not super sweet on their own. If you prefer a sweeter, more classic brownie, I recommend adding the coconut sugar (1/3 to 1/2 cup is a good amount).
- Use Correct Cream – This recipe Slechts works with a full-fat, canned coconut cream that has no additives (like guar gum). These additives prevent the thick cream (fat) from separating from the water, and we need that thick cream for this recipe to work.
- Sift Cocoa – I recommend sifting the cocoa powder into the bowl. This simple step breaks up any little clumps and guarantees you get a perfectly smooth, lump-free batter.
- Add Mix-Ins – Feel free to fold in about 1/3 cup of unsweetened shredded coconut to enhance the coconut taste. Chopped walnuts or pecans are also great for adding a bit of crunch.







Hello Carine!Today I have tried the recipe and we all loved it. However, I have doubled the ingredients and used eggs, only because my coconut cream wasn’t exactly like described in your instructions .
Next time I will use the correct one to make a vegan version.

Hi Carine
I’m looking for your gluten free flour conversion, can you help please
Bij voorbaad dank
Sure! it’s hier.
love your recipes
Thank you so much for being here with me. Your support means a lot to me.
I just got a convection/microwave oven. This is the first recipe that I’m looking at that you wrote that I should use different temperatures for the convention oven and traditional oven. How am I supposed to know when I have to adjust and how much?
All my recipes are baked in convection mode, you don’t need to change any thing. For conventional mode, read the note.
