Ingredients

½ cup dairy-free butter melted
¾ cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
½ cup cocoa powder
½ cup plain flour gluten free or regular
¼ cup dairy-free chocolate chips
¼ cup chopped nuts such as hazelnuts or walnuts

Instructions

Preheat oven to 180°C degrees celsius and line a 20cm square baking pan with baking paper.
In a large bowl, add the eggs and vanilla and whisk until the eggs are frothy.
Whisk in the melted dairy-free butter and the brown sugar.
Sift cocoa powder and flour and combine with wet ingredients. Using a spatula to scrape down the sides, mix until completely combined. The mixture should be quite thick. Fold through dairy-free chocolate chips and chopped nuts.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan and Bake in oven for 15-20 minutes or until the middle is just set. Let cool completely at the room temperature or in the fridge for up to 2 hours before cutting evenly into squares.

Notes

I use Nuttelex to replace butter in most of my recipes as it is vegan and gives a 'buttery' flavour without being greasy. As this is an Australian product, the closest US alternative I believe is Earth Balance. Otherwise any dairy-free spread will work.

Gluten Free Option! This recipe works really well gluten-free. Simply replace plain flour with a gluten-free baking blend.
