Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- 1/3 cup soft tofu (80g)
- 1/3 cup maple syrup (100g)
- 1/4 cup cashew butter (60g)
- 1/3 cup coffee or non-dairy milk (80g)
- 1/2 tbsp vanilla paste (8g)
- 1/2 cup coconut butter, melted (120g)
Dry Ingredients
- 1/3 cup oat flour (80g)
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder (38g)
- 2 tbsp tapioca starch (20g)
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon (3g, optional)
Add-ins
- 1/3 cup + 2 tbsp semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided (90g total)
- 1 1/3 cup blueberries, divided (135g total)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Pre-heat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line or grease an 8×8 inch metal baking tin to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Blend Wet Mixture: In a food processor, combine the soft tofu, 1/2 cup (50g) of blueberries, maple syrup, coffee (or non-dairy milk), cashew butter, salt, and cinnamon. Blend until the tofu is smooth and the mixture is well combined. Add the melted coconut butter and blend again until fully incorporated.
- Add Dry Ingredients: To the wet mixture, add oat flour, cocoa powder, tapioca starch, and baking soda. Blend until a thick batter forms. Then gently fold in the remaining 1/2 cup blueberries and 1/3 cup chocolate chips by hand to distribute evenly without overmixing.
- Prepare for Baking: Transfer the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the surface with a spatula. Evenly press in the remaining blueberries and 2 tablespoons of chocolate chips on top for garnish and extra flavor.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 16 to 19 minutes. Baking for 16 minutes yields super fudgy brownies, while baking for 19 minutes results in a slightly cakey texture. Look for a cooked top with a nice sheen as the sign of doneness.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to rest in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving. This ensures the brownies set perfectly and slice cleanly.
Notes
- For a less fudgy, cakier brownie, bake closer to 19 minutes.
- If you don’t have vanilla paste, vanilla extract can be used as a substitute.
- Ensure the coconut butter is melted but not hot to avoid cooking the tofu when mixing.
- Use fresh or frozen blueberries; if frozen, do not thaw to prevent excess moisture.
- Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
