02 - 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
03 - 1 teaspoon baking powder
04 - 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

03 - In a large bowl, combine nut-milk pulp, sugar, melted coconut oil or butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until mixture is smooth and cohesive.
04 - Gradually fold the dry ingredient blend into the wet mixture, mixing just until incorporated. Avoid overmixing for optimal texture.
05 - Gently stir in chocolate chips and optional chopped nuts until distributed throughout the batter.
06 - Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly using a spatula.
07 - Bake for 28 to 32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center yields a few moist crumbs but no raw batter.
08 - Allow brownies to cool completely in the pan prior to slicing into squares for serving.
