I've been using this recipe for a while (adapted by me from one off a website) and it makes the best brownies I've ever tasted (vegan or otherwise). They're extremely moist and fudgy :)
Ingredients
1/3 cup flour
2/3 cup cold water
12 oz extra firm silken tofu
1 cup dark chocolate
2 cups brown sugar
2 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup sunflower oil
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup chopped hazlenuts
Directions
In a blender puree the tofu, flour and water until smooth. Pour it into a sauce pan, and wisk constantly over low heat until it thickens (it should not boil, if it starts to turn the heat down). This takes about 10 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate chips, vanilla and sugar. Stir occasionally until the chocolate is melted. Set the mixture aside to cool completely.
Preheat your oven to 350F/180C.
When mixture is cool enough mix in the oil. (It can take about 20-30 minutes to cool, give it a stir once in awhileand stick it in the fridge to make it cool faster).
Sift the 1 1/2 cups of flour, cocoa and baking powder together. Fold in the tofu mixture with the hazlenuts until well combined and smooth.
Spread evenly in a greased baking pan for 35-40 minutes, or until a knife comes out clean.
