A rich, chocolate, vegan, low-fat brownie that certainly doesn't taste low fat! Ingredients:
3/4 cup whole wheat flour |
1/4 teaspoon baking soda |
1/4 cup cocoa powder |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1/2 (12 ounce) package silken tofu, drained |
1/4 cup olive oil |
1 cup white sugar |
4 teaspoons vanilla extract |
4 (1 ounce) squares bittersweet chocolate, chopped |
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips |
Directions:
1. Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch square pan. Combine flour, baking soda, cocoa powder, and salt in a bowl.
2. Place the tofu into a blender. Cover, and puree until smooth. Add the olive oil and sugar. Blend for 1 more minute; pour into a mixing bowl and stir in the vanilla extract.
3. Melt the chocolate in the top of a double boiler over just-barely simmering water, stirring frequently and scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching. Mix the melted chocolate into the tofu mixture until well blended. Stir in flour mixture until thoroughly combined, about 3 minutes. Fold in the chocolate chips.
4. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Cool before slicing into bars.
