Method
- Preheat the oven to 160°C/325°F/Gas Mark 3. Line a 23-cm/9-inch square baking tin with baking paper so that the paper extends beyond the edge of the tin.
- Put the tofu, milk and oil into the bowl of a food processor and process until smooth. Pour the mixture into a large mixing bowl and use a spatula to scrape the sides of the bowl.
- Add the brown sugar, caster sugar and vanilla and beat together with a wooden spoon. Stir in the flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and salt and mix well. Fold the chocolate into the mixture.
- Spoon the mixture into the prepared tin and use a spatula to push it into the corners and smooth the top. Bake in the centre of the preheated oven for 30 minutes, then remove from the oven – the texture will firm up as the brownies cool. Leave to cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then lift the baking paper and transfer the brownie, still on the paper, to a wire rack and leave to cool completely before slicing.
Cook’s tip
Brands of vegan white chocolate vary – some will melt, others bake to a toffee-like consistency, both of which can be good in brownies!
