Making a perfect brownie can be challenging. This is one of the best crowd pleasers around.  

• ¾ cup unsweetened almond milk 
• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
• 6 tablespoons canola oil
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 1 cup flour
• 1 cup sugar
• ½ cup brown sugar
• ½ cup unsweetended cocoa, Ghirardelli
• 2 teaspoons finely ground flaxseed 
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup pecans or walnuts, chopped
• 1 cup non-dairy chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray 8”×8” or 9”×9” baking pan with canola cooking spray.  Combine almond milk with apple cider vinegar and set aside. Then combine oil, milk mixture, and vanilla. Whisk until well mixed.  In a separate bowl, combine, flour, sugars, cocoa, flaxseed, baking powder and salt. Fold the flour and milk mixtures together but do not over mix. Fold in nuts and chocolate chips.  Pour into pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, until surface cracks appear but brownies are not quite set. Do not over bake. The brownies will set while they are cooling. Cool completely before cutting. Enjoy.

Hint:

To chop nuts, spread the nuts in a single layer on a cutting board. Using a chef’s knife, carefully chop the nuts with a gentle chopping motion.
