Total Time: 40 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 brownies
Ingredients
- 1 block silken tofu
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the dark chocolate chips over low heat, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Remove from heat once melted and smooth.
- In a blender or food processor, combine the block of silken tofu, sugar, melted chocolate, and vanilla extract. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in the blender or food processor. Blend again until everything is just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Once baked, remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
- After cooling, lift the brownies out of the pan using the parchment paper (if used) and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
- Once cooled, cut the brownies into 12 equal squares and serve. Enjoy your delicious Golden Chocolate Tofu Brownies!
Tips
- Use silken tofu for the smoothest, creamiest texture possible. The key is to blend it thoroughly to eliminate any tofu-like graininess.
- Don't overmix the batter - this can make your brownies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined for the most tender result.
- For extra richness, use high-quality dark chocolate chips with at least 70% cocoa content.
- Let the brownies cool completely before cutting to ensure clean, perfect squares.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
- For an extra indulgent touch, dust with a light sprinkle of powdered sugar or top with a few fresh berries before serving.Pro tip: These brownies are not just delicious - they're a sneaky way to add protein and nutrients to your dessert without sacrificing flavor!
