02 - Whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and sea salt in a medium bowl until fully combined.
03 - In a large bowl, combine nut-milk pulp, sugar, melted coconut oil or butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until homogenous and smooth.
04 - Gradually fold dry ingredients into wet mixture. Stir just until integrated; avoid overmixing.
05 - Gently stir in chocolate chips and chopped nuts, if using, to distribute evenly.
06 - Pour batter into prepared baking pan. Spread evenly and level the surface with a spatula.
07 - Place pan in preheated oven. Bake for 28 to 32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center emerges with a few moist crumbs.
