Brownies!

Working remotely has the great advantage of not having to spend time for the daily commute – which in large cities like London significantly eats in one’s day.

With a bit extra time in the evening, I gave a go at cooking aduki beans (aka adzuki or azuki) as a dessert (these are small red beans, traditional in Japanese cuisine) – apparently they’re rather healthy.

As usual, I like to improvise or interpret recipes with a freestyle approach.. I tweaked a vague recipe for red beans brownies to use ingredients I had at hand. I used read beans (cooked and finely mashed), cocoa powder, eggs, a few spoons of coconut butter, a few spoons of sugar and icing sugar and choc chunks

The result is rather nice and I couldn’t tell that beans are the base ingredient!
