Coconut Brownies with Pecans

This coconut brownies with pecans recipe is less sugary, nutty, packed wth cocoa and coconut flavour. This is made of all natural ingredients, and super affordable. I wish you can smell and taste it. It is like cakeish when it is hot right out of the oven and fudgy once it is cool down. I enjoy both fresh hot out of the oven, and the over night version. The pecans are so nutty and crunchy, even after over night in the fridge.

What are the 3 types of brownies?

Cake, fudge, and chewey.

Cake brownies contains a bigger portion of flour, and normally use butter as oil ingredient. Fudge brownies contains a bigger portion of eggs, or egg whites, also use butter as oil ingredient. Compare to chewy brownies, the secret ingredient is canola oil.
