Vegan Brownies

Yup, you read correct vegan brownies. Hard to believe if you know that non-vegan brownies call for 3-4 eggs and 0.5-1 cup of butter. Who knew blended soft tofu could work so well in a dessert.

The texture is slightly off, a bit more chewy/cake like. But the taste is a * * * * (out of 5). I added some leftover vegan chocolate frosting from a previous cupcake making session just because I really love chocolate. Mmmm.

My future mother-in-law gave me this recipe.

Vegan Brownies

3/4 cup flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

4 oz. tofu

2 tablespoons of canola oil

1.3 cups of maple syrup (I substituted 1 cup of cane sugar and 3 tablespoons of water for 1 cup of the maple syrup)

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/4 cup cocoa

Blend tofu, oil, maple syrup, vanilla and cocoa in a blender. Add mixture to dry ingredients. Mix. Bake for about 20 minutes at 350*F
