  • 2 tbsp non-dairy milk
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1.5 oz dark chocolate (melted and cooled slightly)
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tsp instant coffee Enhances chocolate flavor.
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/4 tsp espresso powder
Cheesecake Layer
  • 8 oz tofu Preferably Mori-Nu silken tofu for a smoother texture.
  • 2 tbsp coconut flour
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 3/4 tsp lemon juice

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Line a 9x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the oat flour, almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, instant coffee, espresso powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate small saucepan, heat the non-dairy milk and maple syrup over medium heat until steaming (about 2-3 minutes).
  4. Remove from heat and stir in the melted dark chocolate and flaxmeal until fully combined. Then, add the vanilla and 2 tablespoons oil.
  5. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and fold together until just combined. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  6. Reserve 1 tablespoon of batter in a small bowl for later swirling; spread the remaining brownie batter evenly into the prepared pan.
Cheesecake Layer
  1. In a food processor or blender, combine the silken tofu, coconut flour, 3 tablespoons sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla, lemon juice, and 1/3 teaspoon salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  2. Pour the cheesecake mixture evenly over the brownie layer in the pan.
  3. Thin the reserved 1 tablespoon of brownie batter with 2 teaspoons of non-dairy milk until drizzle consistency. Using a toothpick, swirl this mixture across the top to create a pretty pattern.
Baking
  1. Bake at 350°F for 40-45 minutes, until the cheesecake layer is set but still has a slight jiggle in the center.
  2. Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for about 1 hour before refrigerating for at least 2 hours before slicing.
  3. Just before serving, sift cocoa powder over the top for an elegant finish. Slice using a sharp knife dipped in hot water for clean edges.

Notes

Serve these brownies straight from the fridge or warm them slightly for melty goodness. Top with whipped cream or sprinkle with coffee grounds for a fancy touch. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
