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

# Method:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring edges overhang for easy removal.
02 - Whisk flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl until blended.
03 - In a large bowl, mix nut-milk pulp, sugar, melted coconut oil or butter, eggs, and vanilla until smooth and fully incorporated.
04 - Gradually fold dry mixture into wet ingredients until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain a tender crumb.
05 - Stir in chocolate chips and chopped nuts if using, distributing evenly throughout the batter.
06 - Pour batter into prepared pan, smoothing the surface. Bake for 28 to 32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center yields a few moist crumbs.
