Ingredients
- 2 cups rice flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cacao powder
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup mixed nuts (e.g., walnuts, almonds, pecans), roughly chopped
- 1 cup almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
- ½ cup vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the rice flour, cacao powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix the almond milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until well blended.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine!
- Fold in the chopped mixed nuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula to spread it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
- Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, cut into squares and serve!
