⭐ Silken Tofu (pureed) (Best Dairy-Free Option)
1:1 (equal volume) Quick tip: Silken tofu adds moisture and protein but lacks acidity and can make brownies denser and less flavorful.
Silken tofu is a common vegan substitute that provides moisture and protein, helping to bind ingredients and maintain fudginess. However, it lacks the natural acidity of Greek yogurt, which affects flavor and leavening.
Puree silken tofu until smooth before mixing. To compensate for the lack of acidity, add 1 teaspoon of lemon juice or vinegar per cup of tofu. Be aware that tofu can make brownies denser and slightly gummy if overused.
The resulting brownies will be moist but less tangy, with a more neutral flavor and a slightly heavier texture compared to those made with Greek yogurt.
