It’s no secret which team I’m on.
In fact, just yesterday I shared the blondie love with a group of girls from my church, and I’m pretty sure I represented my team well.
I had plans to make yet another batch of my favorite treat for a get-together at Amanda’s house tonight, but then a thought so crazy popped into my mind that I just had to see if it would work.
It did.
…because who ever said that brownies and blondies couldn’t share the spotlight simultaneously?
ingredients:
- 1 box brownie mix*
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 cup canola oil
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- 1 stick butter, melted
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
for the icing (optional):
- 1/3 cup white chocolate chips
- 1-2 tablespoons milk
- 1/3 cup shredded coconut
directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, combine brownie mix, 2 eggs, canola oil, and water. Then mix in the shredded coconut. Set aside. *Depending on what brownie mix you used, the additional ingredients (eggs, oil, etc.) might vary, so you can either follow those or the ones that I used.
In another bowl, whisk together the brown sugar and melted butter. Then mix in 1 egg, then the vanilla, then the flour. Combine well.
Pour the brownie batter into a well-greased 9×13 pan and spread evenly. Pour the blondie mix on top, and then use a butter knife to swirl the two batters together. Bake for 30 minutes.
Lastly, make the icing by microwaving the white chocolate chips for 1 minute. Whisk in the milk, pour over the brownies, and top with more coconut.

Let cool completely before cutting.
Or…don’t.
These turned out to be the ooeyist, gooeyist, most delicious brownies I’ve ever had.
In other words, if there were ever a time to put aside my general dislike for chocolate, this would be it.
You could really go with or without the icing, but…well, why would you?
I can’t wait to share these with my friends! 
But for now, nap time. Enjoy your weekend, dolls. xoxo G
What’s your go-to recipe when cooking/baking for others?

Wow, those sound AMAZING! You seriously have me drooling over here.
Although I really, really wish I wasn’t allergic to coconut right now or I’d probably be in the kitchen making these this second.
Ooh these look too good. Also I made your cheesecake recently! Um… HEAVENLY. Thanks for the recipe!

Ah you totally inspired me to make blondies with this post…they’re in the oven as we speak! (type?)

Yum! I love a good blondie too, but I may favor a brownie just as much. Great recipe! I’ll have to try it out soon. My go-to baking recipe is usually cookies - chocolate chip or oatmeal raisin :D.
Good ol’ fashioned chocolate chip! I like to have WHOLE milk on hand to sip if I’m making them. The only time I will drink such a thing! Reminds me of grandma’s house
i have a great Giada DeLaurentiis brownie cupcake recipe that i’ve used for several years now. it’s always a crowd-pleaser. i also like to make cookie cakes for birthdays. also, monkey bread is a favorite that my friends ask me to make them. also, my homemade salsa.
