How to Make Adzuki Bean Brownies Gluten Free Vegan Macrobiotic

Soak 1 cup adzuki beans in a bowl of water for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Drain the soaking water and rinse the adzuki beans.
Place the rinsed beans in a saucepan, cover with fresh water (about 4 cups), and bring to a boil.
Remove from heat, drain the water, and return the beans to the saucepan.
Add 3 cups of fresh water to the beans.
Bring the beans back to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover (slightly tilted), and simmer until tender (45-60 minutes). Alternatively, pressure cook for 10-12 minutes.
Drain the cooked adzuki beans thoroughly in a colander.
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup chia seeds with 6 tablespoons of water. Let sit for at least 15 minutes to form a gel.
In a food processor, combine the cooked adzuki beans, chia seed gel, 1 cup sugar (or sweetener of choice), 1/2 cup cocoa powder (or carob powder), 1/2 cup applesauce, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Process until smooth.
Transfer the brownie batter to a bowl and stir in 1/2 cup chopped walnuts.
Pour the batter into an oiled 8-inch square baking pan.
Bake for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before dusting with powdered sugar and slicing.
Serve and enjoy!
