So... I want to make brownies but will have to wait until we go to the "big smoke" an hour away :( Unless... can I use the flax goo with a bit more baking powder? And if you think yes, how much would a 'bit' be :)<br /><br />BTW: Vidya would have had an oven marked in metric units (deg C) rather than (deg F) which is why it only goes to 250. She should be baking at 150 deg. Just thought to mention in case anyone else in the metric world is confused...KathyGnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24141461.post-85746241329738801182013-10-02T17:21:50.451-07:002013-10-02T17:21:50.451-07:00Vidya, it might work if you ad 10-15 minutes to th...Vidya, it might work if you ad 10-15 minutes to the baking time.Bryanna Clark Groganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13235333928055873948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24141461.post-31424573879002996862013-10-02T09:57:23.534-07:002013-10-02T09:57:23.534-07:00I'm writing from India... thank you so much fo...I'm writing from India... thank you so much for the recipe .

To make a slightly larger quantity, and retain the amazing moist texture, do you think I could make the flour up to a 1/2 cup, and add in about a 1/2 cup of soy yoghurt? Or would that make them more rubbery? Apologies for all the questions, I'm a bit of a novice at using tofu in baking.snennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14080035490914353624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24141461.post-59267141837889959802011-05-16T13:41:16.251-07:002011-05-16T13:41:16.251-07:00Be still my beating heart!

I just posted an update to this post, with a link to another post-- my black bean brownies, which is a variation of this one, so you might want to give that a try if you have no okara. They are delicious!<br /><br />And, I too have sampled far too many dry, cakey vegan brownies, and a fair number of way-too-wet-and-undercooked-tasting ones as well!

I live in fear of brownies with a dry or "cakey" texture. There's certainly nothing wrong with that, but when I crave a brownie, it's these fudgey squares of chocolatey yum with a decadent moist texture that satisfy my cravings!<br /><br />PPS Apologies for all the questions, I really am just rather inspired by how delish these look.snennynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24141461.post-73046568077924469112009-03-14T21:02:00.000-07:002009-03-14T21:02:00.000-07:00i was looking for a way to use my mountains of oka...i was looking for a way to use my mountains of okara i've accumulated since i fired up my new soymilk machine and this is a great use! i winged it a bit as i didn't feel like squeezing water out of my okara, so i added less water in the other parts and i got lucky cuz it came out delicious! added less sugar as well as i like less sweet. very very yummy0 2 B Veganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00590173963136118440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24141461.post-55759838316045246052009-03-01T13:52:00.000-08:002009-03-01T13:52:00.000-08:00I have been completely over-run with okara since I...I have been completely over-run with okara since I got my new soyquick machine (which I LOVE!).

I meant to try this with tofu, but didn't get around to it. Perhaps finely-crumbled well-drained extra-firm tofu would work if you processed it until slightly grainy, but sticking together like the okara in the picture, but tghis is just a suggestion.Bryanna Clark Groganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13235333928055873948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24141461.post-20800831855896841672008-11-29T22:03:00.000-08:002008-11-29T22:03:00.000-08:00Jessica, I guess 2 medium eggs would be the right ...Jessica, I guess 2 medium eggs would be the right amount. I think stovetop soymilk okara is fine, as long as you squeeze it as dry as possible in a cloth like I do with mine. It does make a difference because of the moisture content, which is crucial with brownies.Bryanna Clark Groganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13235333928055873948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24141461.post-84271595377018302812008-11-29T10:45:00.000-08:002008-11-29T10:45:00.000-08:00Hi!

How many should I use? Also, many recipes using okara stipulate using only okara from a machine. I make mine on the stovetop so I am curious if I can get away with really squeezing it well or allowing it to drain in a seive overnight or something. Does it really make such a huge difference?

I was wondering, since I unfortunately don't own a soymilk maker, is there any way tofu could be substituted for the okara in the recipe? If so, would the amounts differ?
