Homemade Chocolate Coconut Brownies

Aren’t air fryers just the most amazing machines? I love how versatile it is to use, and nothing proves that more than my Homemade Chocolate Coconut Brownies. Instead of sticking them in the oven to bake I use my air fryer, and trust me, the results are so worth it.

These are the perfect mix of a gooey and cakey brownie, so you don’t have to decide which you prefer! I am always intrigued to hear what side of the fence people land on, so if you prefer gooey or cakey brownies, let me know in the comments below.

Interestingly, the word “brownie” was first used in the Boston Cooking-School Cook Book in 1896, written by Fannie Farmer. The recipe was quite different back then as the recipe describes a molasses cake (rather than chocolate which is traditional now), baked in small square individual tins. The appearance would have been pretty similar, to be fair, but I’d miss the chocolate too much.

Chocolate and coconut make the perfect combination! The sweetly subtle taste of coconut cut through that wonderful bitterness from the dark chocolate – mmm, I want to cook a batch up now as I write this!
