Ingredients
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup silken tofu, drained
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup bourbon
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9 inch baking pan.
- In a blender or food processor, combine the silken tofu, cocoa powder, sugar, bourbon, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean. Let them cool in the pan.
- Once cooled, prepare the chocolate glaze by melting some chocolate and drizzling it over the top, allowing it to set before cutting into squares. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Tip: For an even richer chocolate experience, use dark chocolate in the glaze.
Ensure your bourbon is of good quality for the best flavor. You can substitute the bourbon with vanilla extract if you prefer a non-alcoholic version.
For extra texture, sprinkle some chopped nuts or chocolate chips on top of the glaze before it sets. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or in the refrigerator for up to a week. Reheat briefly in the microwave for a warm treat!
