Chocolate Brownies with shredded coconut

I had previously used Betty Crocker's "Gluten Free Brownie Mix" but the brownies came out too hard. I added apple sauce to add moisture and it worked great!

I followed the instructions for a 9x9 nonstick pan. Here are my recommendations for soft and chewy brownies:

Make sure you use parchment paper to cover the pan before you pour the mix. Gluten free mixes stick to the bottom of the pan even if they are nonstick. This will help you with the cleanup and serving.

Add the following ingredients to the brownie mix right before you begin to blend the ingredients:

Add 1/2 cup of unsweetened apple sauce

1/3 cup of shredded coconut

Enjoy these flavorful soft and chewy brownies!
