Brownies… but with tofu 👀
I know. Stay with me.
Tofu gives these that dense, fudgy texture while adding some plant protein and making them completely plant-based. I’ve also used date paste and coconut sugar for sweetness. Coconut sugar is still sugar, so no health halo here, but the dates bring some fibre and micronutrients along with them.
And most importantly… they still need to taste like a brownie 😂
Recipe:
250g (1 cup) silken tofu in place of the eggs, oil and water
80g (approx. ¼ cup) date paste
50g (¼ cup) coconut sugar
90g (¾ cup) plain/all-purpose flour
approx. 60-65g (⅔ cup) cocoa powder
approx. 85g (½ cup) dark chocolate chips
½ tsp baking soda
¾ tsp sea salt
½ tsp vanilla
Blend the tofu and date paste and vanilla until completely smooth.
Then fold in the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt.
Add chocolate chips or walnuts if using.
Pour into a lined tin and bake at 175°C for around 40 minutes. You want the centre to still be slightly soft when you take them out.
Leave them to cool fully before slicing. They’ll firm up and get fudgier as they cool.
Would you try tofu in your brownies?
+ Big Thanks to Michelle Chen for the heads up💚
