Feeling a bit tired or need a protein boost? These little chocolate protein bites uses tofu as the vegetable protein. If you eat protein bars, you will have a good idea what this will taste like. It has that soy flavor, that is commonly used in those energy bars. Now, if you don’t like tofu, these aren’t for you! I tested them on my boys over the summer – the one who eats protein bars said they were good, the other who doesn’t said it wasn’t for him. I guess he was being Japanese polite. So, don’t expect a dessert, but instead think of these as a chocolate flavored ‘pick me up’ snack without the guilt. Here we made them as little bite size pieces, but you can also put it in a pan and bake it to make larger pieces. This recipe was shared by Fumiko who is an avid tennis player!
- ½ lb. Silken Tofu – This is equivalent to ½ a standard container
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 2.5 oz. semi-sweet chopped dark chocolate
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 4 tablespoon all purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon corn starch
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder – Hershey unsweetened works fine
- Preheat oven to 350 F
- In a bowl combine flour, cocoa powder and cornstarch
- in a separate bowl, using a blender, mix tofu and sugar
- add the egg and mix again
- In a separate bowl, mix milk and the dark chocolate and microwave for a few seconds until soft.
- Add this to the tofu mixture
- Add the flour mixture to the tofu mixture and blend
- Don’t mix it too much and be gentle.
- Pour batter into little cupcake containers.
- bake for 25 to 30 minutes
