¾ cup whole wheat flour
¼ teaspoon baking soda
¼ cup cocoa powder
⅛ teaspoon salt
½ (12 ounce) package silken tofu, drained
¼ cup olive oil
1 cup white sugar
4 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 (1 ounce) squares bittersweet chocolate, chopped
½ cup dark chocolate chips

Steps:

Categories     Bean     Dessert     Bake     Cupcake

Yield 11 jumbo

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 ½ cup white flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup sugar
½ cup dutch processed cocoa powder
2/3 cup applesauce (or two large apples peeled, cored, and pureed in a blender with a dash of sugar)
(1) 14 ½ oz silken tofu, drained on paper towel
½ teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon cayenne
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 teaspoon canola oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Mix all ingredients Spray cups of extra large muffin pan with oil. Recipe should make 11 jumbo muffin sized brownies. Bake for 22 minutes or until brownies pull away from the sides of the pan. Let cool for 10 minutes before turning out of the pan. Drizzle with Chocolate topping used to plate desserts(the kind that comes in a squeeze bottle) before you serve them. Garnish with a slice of strawberry or a couple of raspberries. You can freeze when cooled to keep fresh until ready to serve if making ahead of time. Muffin top pans are also really nice. They make lovely hockey puck sized cakes. Spray the pan with oil spray to prepare. You can remove the baked muffin tops almost immediately after baking with a spatula. Move to a rack to finish cooling.

Tips:

  • Use silken tofu: It has a smooth texture that blends easily and results in a fudgy brownie.
  • Drain the tofu well: This will prevent excess moisture in the brownies.
  • Use a food processor or blender: This will help to create a smooth batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in tough brownies.
  • Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached: Overbaking will result in dry brownies.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them: This will help to prevent them from crumbling.

Conclusion:

These tofu brownies are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional brownies. They are fudgy, chocolatey, and packed with protein. If you are looking for a vegan, gluten-free, or low-carb brownie recipe, these are the perfect brownies for you.
