I think this was from Veggie Life magazine. These are sooo good, even if you don't really like dates (I don't)...very moist, rich, & brownie-like. Yum!

3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup soft margarine
1/2 cup firm or extra firm silken tofu, well blended
1/2 tsp. vanilla
3/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1/4 cup wheat germ
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
3/4 cup pitted, chopped dates (i have used the crystallized dates found in bulk in most grocery stores, and reduced the amount of sugar a tiny bit)
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
