Ingredients
Scale:
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 cups brown sugar, packed
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
1 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, melt the butter in the microwave or on the stovetop until fully melted.
Stir in the brown sugar until well combined and smooth.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, mixing well after each addition.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded coconut and chopped pecans evenly over the batter, pressing down slightly to adhere.
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
Allow the bars to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
