Triple Chocolate Tofu Brownies

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 (12 ounce) package silken tofu, drained
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1 cup white sugar
• 4 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 4 (1 ounce) squares bittersweet chocolate, chopped
• 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

Directions

Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch square pan. Combine flour, baking soda, cocoa powder, and salt in a bowl.

Place the tofu into a blender. Cover, and puree until smooth. Add the olive oil and sugar. Blend for 1 more minute; pour into a mixing bowl and stir in the vanilla extract.

Melt the chocolate in the top of a double boiler over just-barely simmering water, stirring frequently and scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching. Mix the melted chocolate into the tofu mixture until well blended. Stir in flour mixture until thoroughly combined, about 3 minutes. Fold in the chocolate chips.

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Cool before slicing into bars.
