I took the standard jam bars recipe and gave it a shot of healthy tofu, basically reducing the butter by half! Of course, I reduce the sugar to next to nothing.

1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup tofu
1/3 cup sugar
2 egg yolks
2 cups flour
1 cup jam
Chopped walnuts or almonds or a mixture of your favourite nuts.

Cream butter, tofu and sugar. Beat in eggs yolks, then stir in flour, half a cup at a time. Press half the dough into a 9″ square baking pan. Spread with jam and top with remaining dough. Dough will be thick; it can be dropped by half spoonfuls to cover jam. Sprinkle with chopped nuts.

Bake at 375 deg F for 35 minutes. Cool. Cut into bars (or squares).
