# Components:
→ Dry Ingredients
01 - 1 cup all-purpose flour or gluten-free flour blend
02 - 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
03 - 1 teaspoon baking powder
04 - 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
→ Wet Ingredients
05 - 1 cup nut-milk pulp (such as almond or cashew, squeezed dry)
06 - 3/4 cup granulated sugar or coconut sugar
07 - 1/2 cup melted coconut oil or unsalted butter
08 - 2 large eggs, room temperature
09 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
→ Add-Ins
10 - 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
11 - 1/3 cup chopped nuts, such as walnuts or pecans (optional)
# Preparation Steps:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring overhang for easy removal.
02 - In a medium bowl, thoroughly whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and sea salt until evenly blended.
03 - In a large mixing bowl, combine nut-milk pulp, sugar, melted coconut oil or unsalted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir until mixture is smooth and cohesive.
04 - Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing only until just combined. Avoid overworking the batter.
05 - Gently stir in dark chocolate chips or chopped chocolate and nuts if using.
06 - Pour batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading evenly to the corners. Smooth the surface with a spatula.
07 - Place pan in the oven and bake for 28 to 32 minutes. Test doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center—brownies are ready when a few moist crumbs cling to it.
08 - Allow brownies to cool completely in the pan before lifting out and slicing into squares.
