Gluten Free Aduki Mocha Brownies

Bean Brownies?

Don't knock 'em till ya tried 'em!

I have recently decided to kick sugar AND go gluten-free for a while, and I needed a shabbos dessert so I wouldn't feet too deprived.  This does the trick for me. Don't try to pass these off to your kids as regular brownies -- it won't work -- but it does satisfy my sweet craving in a healthy protien-filled way!

Many people make these brownies with black or white beans.  In Japan and china they use sweetened aduki bean puree in many desserts -- so I figured it would work better than others -- and it does!

1 CAN RINSED & DRAINED  Audki BEANS (Eden is the only company I know of that has canned aduki beans)
3 eggs
3 tbs oil
4  tbs cocca powder (I recommend Ghirardelli)
2 tbs instant coffee
A pinch of salt
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 cup almond butter - adds richness!
½- ¾ C.  Agave Nectar or Honey

Blend everything  in a food processor  Pour into a greased 8x8 pan. Add chocolate chips and/or nuts if desired
Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes. Put in fridge to chill and serve chilled. It's much better cold.

Hi, Looks like a great recipe. I love the fact that there is no flour. Hard to figure out how to cook without grains.
What does the "3 tbs old" mean?
Thanks.

Opps...That should be "oil" -- I corrected it above.
