Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

¾ cup whole wheat flour
¼ teaspoon baking soda
¼ cup cocoa powder
⅛ teaspoon salt
½ (12 ounce) package silken tofu, drained
¼ cup olive oil
1 cup white sugar
4 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 (1 ounce) squares bittersweet chocolate, chopped
½ cup dark chocolate chips

Steps:

Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch square pan. Combine flour, baking soda, cocoa powder, and salt in a bowl.
Place the tofu into a blender. Cover, and puree until smooth. Add the olive oil and sugar. Blend for 1 more minute; pour into a mixing bowl and stir in the vanilla extract.
Melt the chocolate in the top of a double boiler over just-barely simmering water, stirring frequently and scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching. Mix the melted chocolate into the tofu mixture until well blended. Stir in flour mixture until thoroughly combined, about 3 minutes. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Cool before slicing into bars.
