05 - Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a wooden spoon until just combined. Fold in the floured chocolate chips.
06 - Spread half of the brownie batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.
07 - In a small bowl, stir together sweetened coconut flakes, sweetened condensed milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and ¼ teaspoon salt until well combined.
08 - Using a silicone or offset spatula, carefully spread the coconut filling evenly over the bottom brownie layer.
09 - Spread the remaining half of the brownie batter evenly over the coconut filling layer.
10 - Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs.
11 - Allow brownies to cool completely before slicing into sixteen 2-inch squares to ensure clean cuts.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - For enhanced coconut flavor, sprinkle additional coconut flakes on top before baking.
