01 -
227 grams unsalted butter, melted
02 -
350 grams light brown sugar
03 -
2 large eggs
04 -
1 large egg yolk
05 -
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
06 -
0.25 teaspoon fine salt

# How to Make It:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 175°C. Line a 20 by 20 cm metal baking pan with parchment paper or foil, leaving an overhang for easy removal. Coat lightly with nonstick cooking spray.
02 -
In a large bowl, mix melted butter with light brown sugar using a rubber spatula until well combined.
03 -
Add the eggs, egg yolk, and vanilla extract to the mixture. Stir until smooth and fully incorporated.
04 -
Stir in fine salt and all-purpose flour until just combined, forming a thick, dough-like batter.
05 -
Gently fold in three-quarters of the shredded coconut and chocolate chunks until evenly distributed.
06 -
Spoon the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Sprinkle remaining coconut and chocolate chunks over the top, pressing gently into the surface.
07 -
Bake for 40 minutes, or until the blondies are set but still slightly soft in the centre.
08 -
Allow to cool completely in the pan. Remove using the parchment overhang and slice into bars with a large sharp knife, cleaning the blade under running hot water between cuts for clean edges.
09 -
Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to three days. For a warm serving, reheat briefly in the microwave before enjoying.
