Vegan Magic Cookie Bars
Have you ever gotten a craving for something and you finally just had to give in? My mother used to make these overly-rich but amazing treats for holidays and special occasions, but in the last few years I never even thought about them, assuming that they were lost to me because they contain a primary ingredient that is so non-vegan that it’s hard to conceive of a workable substitute. But something I saw on another blog or in a magazine must have reminded me of them because suddenly the craving was there and I just couldn’t let it go.
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup extra-firm silken tofu
- 1/3 cup vanilla soymilk
- 1/3 cup unbleached sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/4 cup Earth Balance Margarine see note
- 3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs check package ingredients carefully–most aren’t vegan
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
- 2/3 cup flaked coconut
- 3/4 cup vegan semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F and spray a glass 8×8-inch baking dish with non-stick spray. In a blender, puree the tofu, soymilk, cornstarch, and sugar until completely smooth.
- Put the margarine into a bowl and melt it in the microwave (or do this on the stove and pour into a bowl). Add the graham cracker crumbs and mix until well-moistened. Pour them into the prepared baking dish and press evenly to cover the bottom of the pan.
- Pour the tofu mixture over the crust. Sprinkle with the nuts, coconut, and chocolate chips, and press it all into the dish firmly with a fork.
