A Reconstructionist Community in Summit, New Jersey
Jody's Vegan Cayenne Brownies
Ingredients
1/3 cup cocoa powder
4 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped (Ghiradelli 72%, already in pieces)
3 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped (Ghiradelli pieces)
1 1/3 cup organic sugar (or succanat)
1 cup silken tofu, blended
1/2 cup walnut oil (or sunflower oil)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3/4 cup millet flour (or spelt)
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
Spray inside of 8-inch sq. pan (olive oil spray) and dust with a it of the cocoa powder.
Melt the semisweet and unsweetened chocolate together. Sir continually with silicone spatula to prevent burning. Just a few minutes. Mix in 1/4 cup of cocoa powder and remove from heat.
Combine sugar, tofu, oil, and vanilla in a large bowl, using another spatula. Stir in the melted chocolate, then the flour, cayenne powder, baking powder, and salt.
Pour the batter into the baking pan, making sure it spreads evenly. Bake at 350 for 35 – 40 minutes, until slightly puffed. You'll know it is done if a toothpick inserted at the center comes out relatively clean.
Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 2 hours before cutting into small pieces and serving.
