    • Ingredients

    Serves:

      • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (one stick) plus additional for brushing pan
      • 2 ounces finely chopped bittersweet chocolate
      • 2 ounces finely chopped unsweetened chocolate
      • 3/4 cup sucanat
      • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
      • 2 large cage-free organic eggs, lightly beaten
      • 6 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
      • 1/2 cup dessicated coconut
      • 1/2 cup toasted pecan halves
      • 1/4 teaspoon salt

    Directions

    Preheat oven to 350°F and lightly grease an 8-inch square baking pan.

    Melt butter with chocolates in a heavy medium saucepan over moderately low heat, stirring, just until chocolate is melted, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in sucanat and vanilla extract. Add eggs one at a time until each is combined well. Stir in flour, coconut, pecans and salt until combined well. Spoon into prepared baking dish, smoothing top.

    Bake in middle of oven until brownies are set (top will look slightly wet but will absorb as it cools) and a toothpick inserted in center is clean, about 18 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes in pan and cut into squares.

    I THINK THAT SINCE THE TITLE OF THE RECIPE IS "GUILT FREE" ONE WOULD ASSUME THE CALORIC AND FOOD VALUES WOULD BE SHOWN...THIS IS BUNK!

    You have a lot of nerve calling them "Pecan Brownies Without Guilt" and then not providing nutritional information. I'll lay you odds they're loaded with fat.

    I agree; but the fat content would be high due to butter and coconut, both of which are actually good for you in moderation. Moderation is the key here. I was kind of hoping for a brownie recipe that I could eat in excess!!! (Just kidding).

    What's a "sucanat"? Isn't 2 oz. and 2 oz. of chocolate the same as 4 oz.? So is it a typo or a mistake? Does anyone proofread these things?

    Sucanat is sugar that is processed to retain the molasses content. You can find it a health food stores and maybe your grocery store (depending on where you live). It's generally a healthier substitute for brown sugar.
