Hazelnut Brownie - gluten, grain, dairy & egg free!!

This is my absolute favourite brownie recipe evolved into a super delicious vegan alternative!! It can be so easy to get overwhelmed thinking about cooking egg free but really its pretty simple my go to substitute for egg is 2 ripe bananas, however there are many other ideas and solutions.

•35g (1/3 cup) cocoa powder
•1/2 tsp bi-carb soda
•150g (1 1/4 cup) hazelnuts roughly chopped (can be replaced with walnuts, macadamias of any other nut of your choice)
