Aduki brownies with amazake

Japanese
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.
