Want something to bring that nobody will know is healthy?
I am on a very low fat, vegan food, no oil diet (for health, but ethically as a side effect
)so imagine my limitations.
I made these the other day and went out of my mind they were so delicious. NOBODY would know these incredibly moist and fudgy brownies were healthy. I'm not even a batter eating person and when I took a little taste I about licked the bowl clean.
The *'s are my adaptations.

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 cup Sucanat -- or sugar
4 ounces medium-firm tofu -- OR firm or extra-firm SILKEN tofu (reduced fat if you like)
* I used Silken Extra Firm
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa -- (or carob powder if you insist)
1/3 cup flour
4 teaspoons powdered EnerG egg replacer
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon instant coffee -- or coffee substitute granules
( *I used 1/4 cup of coffee instead of the 1/4 cup water and granules)
2 teaspoons vanilla -- (*2 to 3,
I went 3)
1 1/2 teaspoons vinegar
(*I used Balsamic, it it enhances the chocolate flavor, but regular will do also)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In the food processor mix until smooth the sugar, tofu, cocoa, water, egg replacer, coffee granules, vanilla and vinegar.
In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder and soda. Add the cocoa mixture and mix briefly. Add nuts, if using.
Pour the mixture into a nonstick or lightly-oiled or sprayed 7x11" or 8x8" cake pan. Spread evenly. Bake 25 minutes. Cool on a rack in the pan, then cut into 16 bars.
*I used a non stick silicon 8x8 pan (I love these!) So I did not have to oil the pan. Came out like a dream.
