Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Silken tofu
- 75 grams Coconut oil
- 120 milliliters Maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 120 grams All-purpose flour
- 50 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 100 grams Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 100 grams Dairy-free chocolate chips
- 50 grams Chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a square 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper.
In a blender or food processor, combine the silken tofu, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Pour the blended tofu mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together using a spatula until fully combined.
Stir in the dairy-free chocolate chips and optional chopped walnuts, ensuring an even distribution throughout the batter.
Transfer the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean (a few moist crumbs are okay).
Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before slicing into 12 squares for serving.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
