Red bean brownie

An original recipe inspired by Japanese people who use red beans for their pastries. Softness and nutritional balance warranted.

Ingredients (serves 4):

  • 100 g canned red beans
  • 55 g pastry chocolate
  • 40 g flour
  • 50 g sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon soluble coffee
  • 50 g butter
  • 50 g chopped walnuts

Instructions:

  • Preheat the oven at 180°C (th. 6).
  • Drain beans and put them in the bowl of the mixer. Mix.
  • Sift flour, pour it in a bowl and make a well. Add sugar, eggs and mix.
  • Make the chocolate melt in double boiler or in the microwave. Add it to the dough, mixing gently.
  • Add the coffee, the melted butter, red bean purée and chopped walnuts. Mix it.
  • Pour the dough in the mould. Put it in the oven for about 40 minutes.

To decorate, you can put a cherry, a kiwi slice or half a strawberry on the top of the brownie and coat it with a cherry coulis.
