1/4 c canola oil

1/2 tsp vanilla

4 oz dark chocolate chunk piece or bittersweet chocolate pieces (Ghirardelli)

1. Preheat oven to 375.  Place oats in a food processor or blender and blend until oats resemble a coarse flour. In  medium bowl stir together oats, flour, baking soda, and baking powder.  Set aside.  Blend tofu in food processor or blender until smooth and set aside.

2. In a large bowl beat butter with electric mixer and add tofu. Combine well with mixer.  Add granulated and brown sugars and combine well.  Then beat in oil and vanilla.  Beat in as much of the flour mixture as possible and stir in chocolate.
