What are Ube Tofu Fudge Brownies?

Ube Tofu Fudge Brownies are a guilt-free, high-protein version of classic ube fudge. They are made with silken tofu, one egg, a touch of rice flour, honey or maple syrup, and real Ube Nolia ube powder. No butter, no refined sugar, no oven needed. The tofu keeps them creamy and fudgy while adding plant protein.

Why are these brownies considered guilt-free and healthy?

Because they are naturally sweetened with honey or maple syrup, contain no butter and no refined sugar, and rely on silken tofu for a rich, fudgy texture and plant-based protein. Ube powder brings antioxidants (anthocyanins), fiber and a natural deep purple color, without any artificial dye or flavor.

Which tofu should I use for ube fudge brownies?

Use silken tofu (soft tofu), not firm tofu. Silken tofu blends into a perfectly smooth, creamy base with no lumps. Japanese-style silken tofu such as Ken-chan Tofu is especially easy to whisk. Avoid firm or extra-firm tofu, which will stay grainy.

Can I make Ube Tofu Fudge Brownies without a microwave?

Yes. You can bake the batter in a small parchment-lined dish at 350°F (180°C) for about 15-18 minutes, or steam it in a covered dish for 12-15 minutes. Microwaving at 600 W for 3 min 30 to 4 min is simply the fastest option.

How long do these ube tofu brownies keep?

Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for 2 to 3 days. They actually taste even better on day 2 once fully chilled, when the texture becomes denser and fudgier. Do not leave them at room temperature for long, as they contain fresh tofu and egg.

Can I make these ube brownies vegan?

Yes. Replace the egg with 1 flax egg (1 tbsp ground flax + 3 tbsp water, rested 5 minutes) and use maple syrup instead of honey. The texture will be slightly softer but still perfectly fudgy.

How much protein is in one serving?

With 160g of silken tofu and 1 large egg, the full recipe contains roughly 15-18g of protein depending on your tofu brand. Cut into 4 servings, that is around 4g of protein per fudge square, with very little added sugar and no butter.
