chunky chocolate brownies

Inspired by all this Australia Day talk, I took my favourite components of a lamington ( coconut and chocolate of course) and made these decadent, but high protein , fudgy dark chocolate chunk and coconut brownies. The greek yoghurt ( or coconut for dairy free) combined with the cacao and choc chunks, uses less flour than a normal brownie to create that dense chocolatey texture combined with the crispy coconut flakes. Give this one pan wonder a go- you won’t regret it
