Christmas is approaching, and desserts, chocolate, and cocoa are flowing like water. We’re here to “help” by adding fuel to the fire: marbled brownies are a great recipe to bring to pre-Christmas dinners if you’re tired of the usual panetùn or pandoro! The recipe serves 8–12 people and is very easy to follow.

To get ready for the cooler weather that’s bound to arrive sooner or later, today I’m sharing a recipe for coconut brownies. They’re perfect for any occasion, but don’t gobble them all up—they’re pretty filling! I often make these to bring to work for a break with coworkers, as a weekend treat, or for dinner parties. It’s very quick to prepare, takes about 30 minutes to bake, and a sprinkle of coconut flour is optional—plus, it’s impossible to mess this up! It’s one of those recipes to always keep on hand for last-minute guests and when you’re short on ideas: this classic is always there to save the day!
