Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams silken tofu
- 50 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 90 grams all-purpose flour
- 120 milliliters maple syrup
- 50 grams coconut sugar
- 70 grams dark chocolate chips (vegan)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a square 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a blender or food processor, blend the silken tofu until smooth and creamy. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the blended tofu, maple syrup, coconut sugar, olive oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk together until well mixed.
Sift the cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt into the wet mixture. Gently fold everything together until just combined. Do not overmix.
Add in the dark chocolate chips, reserving a few for topping if desired, and gently stir to distribute them evenly in the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips on top for decoration.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan before slicing into 8 equal pieces.
Serve and enjoy your healthy vegan cocoa tofu brownies!
