4. Stir in the pure vanilla extract, followed by the sifted all-purpose flour, baking powder, and fine sea salt; mix just until no dry streaks remain to avoid overworking the batter.
5. Fold in the toasted sweetened shredded coconut, finely grated lime zest, and strained fresh lime juice until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
6. Tip: Toasting the coconut beforehand enhances its nutty flavor and prevents sogginess—spread it on a baking sheet and toast at 350°F for 5–7 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
7. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan, spreading it into an even layer with a spatula.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 23–25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.
9. Tip: Avoid overbaking to maintain a chewy texture; the blondies will firm up as they cool, so remove them from the oven when they’re just set.
10. Let the blondies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack for at least 1 hour before slicing.
11. Tip: For clean cuts, use a sharp knife wiped clean between slices, and chill the blondies in the refrigerator for 15 minutes if they seem too soft.
12. Slice into 16 squares and serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Very chewy and moist, these blondies have a delightful balance of tangy lime and toasty coconut. Enjoy them warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or pack them for a beach picnic to bring a taste of the tropics wherever you go.
