single-serve fudgey okara brownies

I've been on a quest to make single-serve fudgey brownies (as opposed to cakey brownies) for a couple of months now. While the chocoholic in me thinks that I might try doubling the semi-sweet chocolate next time, these are pretty great.



In a bowl, combine
1/4 cup flour (all-purpose, white whole wheat, or a combination)
1/4 cup sugar
2 Tablespoons cocoa powder
1/8 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. baking powder
and stir until integrated.

In a microwave-safe bowl, place
1 oz. semi-sweet chocolate
1 Tablespoon Earth Balance
1/2 Tablespoon maple syrup
1/4 cup soy milk
and heat (around 1 minute at 70% power on my ancient microwave) until hot enough for margarine and chocolate to finish melting when you whisk the contents. After ingredients are whisked together, add
1/4 tsp. vanilla
3 Tablespoons okara
and whisk until blended.

Add dry ingredients to liquid ingredients and stir with a spoon until just mixed. (Overmixing might result in rubbery brownies.) Divide batter between two lightly oiled 8-ounce ramekins and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 26 minutes. Allow to cool for a few minutes before inverting brownies from ramekins.
