Bryanna's Almost No-Fat Brownies

By Bryanna Grogan Clark

Nutrition facts include 1/2 cup chopped walnuts. If you need a big batch of brownies, triple the recipe and use 1 12.3 oz. box of extra-firm (regular or lite) SILKEN tofu.

Ingredients:

1 cup brown sugar
4 oz (1/2 c.) medium-firm tofu OR firm or extra-firm SILKEN tofu
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
1/3 cup flour
1/4 cup water (can be part liqueur of choice, such as Kahlua)
4 teaspoons powdered egg replacer
1 tablespoon coffee (or coffee substitute) granules or espresso powder
2-3 teaspoons vanilla
1 1/2 teaspoon vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
OPTIONAL: 1/4-1/2 cup chopped nuts

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In the food processor mix until smooth the sugar, tofu, cocoa, water, egg replacer, coffee granules, vanilla and vinegar. In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder and soda. Add the cocoa mixture and mix briefly. Add nuts, if using.

Pour the mixture into a 7 x 11" or 8 x 8" cake pan lined with cooking parchment. Spread evenly. Bake 25 minutes. Cool on a rack in the pan, then cut into bars.
