Coconut Brownies Ii No Grains No Sugar

---

This is an updated, more decadent version of my #412285. i pulled out my own recipe to make these, and looked at the ingredients and said, what no butter? i also wanted to try grinding the coconut and i had pecans, not almonds on hand. the result was so good, i had to post a new recipe! a grinder/chopper and food processor are nearly essential for this recipe.
