Chocolate Fudge Brownies

¾ cup white flour
2/3 cup cold water or soya milk
100g tofu
1 cup chocolate chips
1 tsp vanilla
1¾ cups sugar
Pinch salt
½ cup vegetable oil
¾ cup cocoa powder
1½ cup white flour
¾ tsp baking powder
Optional: broken up, chipped or nibbed nuts

• Preheat oven to 350°C/180F.
• Whisk or puree the tofu, flour and water until smooth in a sauce pan, and whisk constantly over low heat until it thickens - about 10mins (don't boil it).
• Take off the heat and stir in the chocolate chips, salt, vanilla and sugar, until the chocolate chips are melted. Set aside to cool.
• When mixture is cool, mix in the oil. It can take about 20 minutes to cool, so give it a stir and/or put it in the fridge.
• Sift the 1½ cups of flour, the cocoa and the baking powder together. Fold in the tofu mixture until well combined and smooth.
• Spread evenly in a greased baking pan for 35-40 minutes, or until a knife comes out clean.
