Tasty Tofu Brownie Snacks

A Mori Nu recipe that we made the other night. Cooking time also includes cooling time.

• Ready In: 37 mins
• Yields: 12 brownies

Ingredients

• Dry

• 1 1⁄3 cups cake flour or 1 1⁄3 cups buckwheat flour
• 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1⁄2 teaspoon cinnamon

• Wet

• 1⁄4 cup applesauce or 1⁄4 cup prune puree
• 1  teaspoon canola oil (optional)
• 3⁄4 cup sugar or 3⁄4 cup sugar substitute
• 12 1⁄3 ounces firm silken tofu
• 1  teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1  teaspoon  almond extract (optional)
• 1⁄3 cup  Dutch-processed cocoa powder

• Garnish

• 2  tablespoons walnuts, chopped (optional)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Pam an 8x8-inch pan.
3. Mix all the dry ingredients. The recipe says use food processor, however, since you are simply mixing them well, it is easier to do it by hand.
4. Use the processor for this or have a LOT of energy: Place all the wet ingredients in a work bowl and process until smooth. Scrape the sides of the bowl as needed.
5. When smooth add the dry ingredients all at once and pulse until just moistened.
6. Scrape into pan and sprinkle with nuts.
7. Ours formed a ball that simply "fell out" leaving the processor almost clean. It did not effect the end result at all.
8. Bake for 22 minutes or until they pull away from the sides of the pan. Let cool for 15 minutes before turning out of the pan.
