Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose unbleached flour
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 3/4 cup maple sugar
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 3/4 cup non-hydrogenated margarine
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 egg
- 1 egg white
- 1 300-g coconut silken tofu
- 1/4 cup maple syrup (preferably dark syrup for its robust flavour)
- 1/4 cup skimmed milk
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
Method
- Preheat the oven to 190 °C (375 °F).
- In a bowl, combine both flours, the maple sugar and oats. Add the margarine and vanilla, then use two knives to cut the fat into the flour until crumbly.
- Spread this mixture in the bottom of a 33×23-cm (13×9-inch) baking tin lined with parchment paper.
- Flatten and press down on the surface with your hands. Bake for about 15 minutes or until it starts to turn golden.
- In the meantime, use a mixer to beat the eggs, tofu, maple syrup and milk together until smooth.
- Spread the strawberry slices over the crust and pour the tofu mixture on top.
- Continue cooking for about 35 minutes or until the top turns golden. Cool completely before cutting into bars.
