Makes: 16 Brownies
Ingredients:
- 150g dark chocolate, coarsely chopped
- 80ml macadamia oil
- 400g tin adzuki beans, drained and rinsed (or 240g dry weight of adzuki, red kidney, or black beans, soaked and cooked)
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon natural vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons cacao powder
- 110g coconut or rapadura sugar
- 35g almond or hazelnut meal (or grind your own)
Simple & Delicious Method
Step 1: Prepare the Baking Tin
Preheat the oven to 160°C. Lightly grease a 20cm square cake tin and line the base with baking paper.
Step 2: Melt the Chocolate
Place 75g of the chocolate and macadamia oil in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of gently simmering water. Stir until smooth, then set aside to cool.
Step 3: Blend the Beans
Process the adzuki beans in a food processor until smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, then blend again until fully combined. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl.
Step 4: Mix the Ingredients
Stir the chocolate mixture into the bean mixture. Then, sift in the cacao powder and mix well. Add the sugar, nut meal, and remaining chopped chocolate, stirring until evenly combined.
Step 5: Bake to Perfection
Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin and spread evenly. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the brownies feel just firm when lightly pressed. Let them cool in the tin before slicing into squares.
