My friend Selma asked me to rework her recipe to make it healthier. I ended up with a whole new recipe that has become a favorite in our home. Thanks Selma!
Yield: one 9 x 13 pan
24 servings
- 1 3/4 cups organic whole wheat pastry flour
- 1/2 cup organic soy flour
- 1 cup sucanat
- 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 Tablespoon baking soda
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 cup organic malt-sweetened carob chips, or chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup okara (soy, soy-barley, almond-oat or almond-rice)
- 1/2 cup homemade soy-barley milk (or almond milk)
- 1 cup homemade soy-barley milk (or almond milk)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
In a large mixing bowl, mix flours, sucanat, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt together until well mixed. Add carob or chocolate chips and toss with the dry ingredients. Place okara and 1/2 cup soymilk in a blender and process until pureed. Add 1 cup soymilk, vanilla extract and applesauce to okara mixture in blender and process until smooth.
Pour okara mixture into dry ingredients and gently mix to moisten completely, but do not overmix. Pour batter into a lightly oiled 9 x 13 baking pan. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 30 – 35 minutes, or until center is done. This is a moist, dense cake, resembling a brownie.
