Yay! Healthy Brownies!

Happy Monday!

I was seriously craving chocolate on this rainy day, and I found the perfect recipe! Chocolate-covered Katie’s Fudge Daddy Brownies were the perfect chocolaty treat to tame my unruly sweet tooth.

When I first saw the recipe, I was intrigued to say the least.  Tofu and applesauce?  Um, ew. As I was blending the ingredients, I started to worry about the outcome even more, but oh my goodness, people.  These brownies are heavenly.

Here’s the recipe:

Fudge Daddy Brownies

(Makes 8 brownies)

  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup ww pastry flour (or white, or you can try spelt or gluten-free option)
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 3 tbsp soft tofu or mori-nu firm or lite firm
  • 1/3 cup applesauce (use only 1/4 cup if using 3tbsp oil)
  • 1 to 3 tbsp oil (I used Coconut oil, but Conola can be used.)
  • 2 tbsp milk of choice
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • optional: chocolate chips!

Combine dry ingredients, and mix very well. In a blender, combine wet ingredients and blend until smooth.  Pour wet over dry and stir, then pour into a 4×6 oiled pan (or double the recipe and use an 8×8). Cook for 12-18 minutes at 325 F. (chocolatecoveredkatie.com)

*I doubled the recipe and kept them in the oven for about 20 minutes. I used a toothpick to see if they were cooked all the way!

These rich little brownies have approximately 100 calories and 2g of fat a piece.  They are perfect to share with friends (and they’ll never guess what they’re made of!)
