No Butter! Rich and Sticky Tofu Brownies
I love brownies, but didn't really want to use a large amount of butter. I was trying to come up with a way to reproduce that rich and sticky texture without butter, and thought of using tofu instead.
Now I find these tastier than regular brownies.
This recipe is about mixing everything together, so using a food processor or a hand mixer will speed things up. (Although it was easy enough to make it manually.) Please adjust the amount of sugar to your liking. My favorite ratio is making it with 100g of sugar - well, that might seem obvious! Recipe by Miwatarou

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Strain the tofu lightly through a strainer and whisk until smooth. Add the egg and sugar and mix thoroughly. In a separate bowl, combine the chocolate and milk, then microwave for 1 minute. When the chocolate has melted, add that chocolate mixture into the tofu and mix well.
- 2
Add vanilla extract and the other powdered ingredients. Also add salt and mix until smooth. Strain through a strainer as you pour the mixture into the loaf tin. Don't worry if it's still a little lumpy. (Make sure to grease the tin because the dough might stick.)
- 3
Top the surface evenly with chocolate chips. Bake in the oven at 180℃ for 35-40 minutes. It's ready to be served when the surface is dry and spongy when touched. Let it cool in the tin. For an even richer texture, chill in the fridge.

Check the brownies while they're in the oven -they're ready when the chocolate chips are about 80% sunken into the dough.

COOKPAD user Harapekoen'nan made a new variation. It uses 150 g of tofu, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and 1 whole banana. I tried it too. It has a nice banana flavor and it's even chewier. It's not too sweet, and the banana and chocolate taste great together!

This is the miso strainer (left) and the oil drainer (right) that I used to strain the tofu and dough.

In this variation, I substituted the chocolate with white chocolate, and the cocoa powder with almond flour.

It tastes like New York cheesecake! So delicious - even milkier and smoother then the chocolate version.

Rich Chocolate Brownies Made Using Silken Tofu Rich Chocolate Brownies Made Using Silken Tofu
My family loves tofu so I thought that maybe I could make something with tofu and chocolate. You won't feel the tofu at all, even though it uses lots of it. You'll be hooked on its decadent texture.If you mix the tofu until it is really creamy, it'll taste good even without straining. All you really have to do is to mix the ingredients with a whisk. Use the liquor of your choice. Otherwise, you can use vanilla oil. Recipe by Chamu kiss

Oil-free and Egg-free Tofu Brownies Oil-free and Egg-free Tofu Brownies
I found this recipe in the macrobiotic recipe book "Sweet! Delicious! Sugar-fee Desserts" by Patricio Garcia de Paredes. I changed it around a bit by making it oil-free and added tofu. It contains no oil at all so you can eat it without worry.Adding miso might sound a bit strange, but it adds so much depth of flavor to brownies. If you want to make the brownie sweeter, add sugar, not maple syrup. About the cooking time, if you cook for 18 minutes then the brownie will be nice and moist, as if you used chocolate. If you bake for 20 minutes the cake will be chewier. The brownie will have a rich enough flavour with 20 g cocoa, but if you like a more bitter taste you can add up to 25 g. Recipe by Meifan -

I wanted to eat rich brownies!!! But the calories... so I tried making them with tofu, and the result was amazingly dense and rich brownies!If you increase the cocoa powder to 40 to 50 g, it will become even richer. If using a square baking tin, the brownies will be done in about 20 to 30 minutes. Cover with aluminium foil and leave to rest for a day, and the brownies will become moist and rich, and really delicious. For loaf pan: 18 x 8 x 6 cm [7 x 3 1/4 x 2 1/4 in]. Recipe by Kokochi -

Homemade Fudgy Brownies Homemade Fudgy Brownies
If, like me, you prefer fudgy brownies to cakey brownies, then this is the brownie recipe for you. I will never make boxed brownies again and this recipe is very simple to make. They are dense, chewy and delicious! If you're a true chocoholic, opt for the milk chocolate frosting on top of the finished brownies....I think they're pretty amazing without the frosting though, with a bowl of vanilla bean ice cream 😁 Recipe source : Sallysbakingaddiction.com

Rich and Dense Grown-up Brownies Rich and Dense Grown-up Brownies
I'm not fond of overly sweet treats, so I tried adding coffee to accent these brownies. Coffee and chocolate go perfectly together.The slight bitterness and fragrance of the coffee makes these brownies perfect for the grown-up palate.Use whatever type of nuts and chocolate that you like. You can just use walnuts and it will still be delicious. I recommend using bitter or dark chocolate!If you're not using almonds to decorate the top, you jut need to bake this for 20 minutes at 170°C!I also recommend decorating the top with icing or melted chocolate.
