Introduction

Okara Brownies

In my last post, I shared about what okara is. Basically it’s a healthy by-product of tofu with high fiber content and low production costs. It’s extremely moist which makes it perfect for this brownie recipe I’m about to share with you!
Okara is absorbent, so it soaks up all the sweetness from this recipe’s bananas and coconut sugar. When mixed with cocoa powder, it makes for an excellent healthy brownie!

Ingredients

  • Fresh, raw okara, 1 cup
  • Bananas, 2
  • Eggs, 2
  • Milk, 1/4 cup 
  • Coconut sugar, 1/4 cup
  • Cocoa powder, 1/4 cup
  • Baking powder, 1 & 1/2 tsp. 
  • Olive oil, 1 tbsp. 
  • Walnuts
    Preheat oven to 170C.
    Mash bananas till mushy.
    Mix in all the other ingredients until creamy.
    Coat your baking pan with olive oil and pour in the batter.

    This brownie recipe results is quite sticky and crumbly making it tricky to remove from the pan, so let it sit outside or chill in fridge for a few hours before serving!
