Aduki brownies with amazake
A tasty recipe with aduki beans can be savory or sweet. That is the power of aduki. This healthy brownie recipe is great if you want to bake vegan without refined sugars, but can't do without chocolate. A surprise ingredient in this recipe is of course the amazake. It provides that sweetness and a good structure. Pro tip: use canned aduki beans if you're short on time. Take real aduki beans and no other beans, because aduki contains a lot of protein, and the taste is really sweeter than, for example, that of black beans.DessertCake and pastries16 pieces30 minutes preparation30 hours waiting10 minutes soaking

This is how you make it
- Soak and cook the adzuki beans according to the package instructions. Rinse them thoroughly in a colander after cooking and let them drain.
- Roughly chop the nuts.
- Let the chia seeds soak in 50 ml of water for 10 minutes. Stir occasionally.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- Place a small saucepan with a little water over medium heat. Put a heatproof bowl on top and melt the chocolate (au bain-marie).
- Add the coconut oil and stir well until fully melted. Remove from heat and mix in the soaked chia seeds, maple syrup and amazake.
- Put the almond flour, salt, baking powder, cocoa powder and vanilla powder into the food processor and blend. Add the adzuki beans and blend until completely smooth.
- Now add the melted chocolate mixture and blend again until you get a cohesive batter. Stir in the chopped nuts at the last moment.
- Grease a square baking tin of about 20 cm with (coconut) oil and line it with baking paper. Spread the batter in the tin and smooth the top. Place the tin in the middle of the oven and bake for 20 to 30 minutes.
- The brownie is done when it feels firm but is still moist when you stick in a skewer.
- Cut into squares and enjoy.
