Adzuki Bean Brownies (Gluten-Free, Vegan, Macrobiotic) image

We see a lot of black bean brownie recipes on the Internet. One day, I thought if we can use black beans to make healthy brownies, I should be able to use adzuki beans as well. This is what I came up with. If you are very sensitive to caffeine, you can use carob powder in place of cocoa powder.

Time 1h50m

Yield 9 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup adzuki beans, washed
2 tablespoons chia seeds
1/2 cup coconut sugar crystals or 1/2 cup other raw sugar
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch salt
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
oil, for the pan
powdered sugar, for dusting (option)

Steps:

  • Soak adzuki beans for at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
  • Drain water and replace with fresh water. Place on stove and bring to a boil. Turn off the heat and drain water.
  • Add water that is 3 times the amount of beans. Heat and bring to a boil again. Reduce heat, place a lid, slightly tilted, and cook until beans are tender for about 45 - 60 minutes. If you have a pressure cooker, cook for 10 - 12 minutes under pressure. Drain water through a colander.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C degrees.
  • In a small bowl, place chia seeds and 6 Tbsp of water. Leave it for at least 15 minutes. This chia seed gel can be used in place of eggs (1 egg = 1 Tbsp chia seeds + 3 Tbsp water).
  • In a food processor, place the adzuki beans, chia seed gel, sugar, cocoa powder, apple sauce, vanilla and salt and mix well.
  • Transfer the brownie mixture to a bowl. Mix in walnuts.
  • Transfer to an oiled 8-inch square pan and bake for 45 minutes. Cool the brownies.
  • Dust powdered sugar on top and slice. Infuse love and serve!

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my brownies turned out really dry. I think I might have overbaked them.

I thought these brownies were just okay. They weren't bad, but they weren't anything special either.

These brownies were a bit more work to make than I was expecting. I had to soak the adzuki beans overnight, and then cook them before I could start making the brownies.

I had a hard time finding adzuki beans at my local grocery store. I ended up ordering them online, which was a bit of a hassle.

I found the flavor of these brownies to be a bit bland. I think they could have used a bit more sweetness or spices.

These brownies were a bit too dense for my taste. I think I would have preferred them if they were a bit lighter and fluffier.

I'm a big fan of adzuki beans, so I was excited to try these brownies. They didn't disappoint! They were rich and chocolatey, with a slightly nutty flavor from the beans.

These brownies are a great way to use up leftover adzuki beans. They're also a healthier alternative to traditional brownies, since they're made with whole wheat flour and natural sweeteners.
