Chocolate brownies using nut-milk pulp repurpose leftovers and deliver moist, rich flavor.

# What you'll need:

→ 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, at 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)

# Method:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring edges overhang for easy removal.
02 - Whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and sea salt in a medium bowl until thoroughly combined.
03 - In a large bowl, mix nut-milk pulp, sugar, melted coconut oil or butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and uniform.
04 - Gradually fold dry ingredients into wet mixture using a spatula, mixing just until combined without overworking.
05 - Stir in chocolate chips and chopped nuts, if desired, until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
06 - Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly, smoothing the surface for uniform baking.
07 - Place pan in oven and bake for 28 to 32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center emerges with moist crumbs.
08 - Allow brownies to cool fully in the pan. Once cooled, lift out with parchment overhang and slice into twelve squares.
