HEALTHY ADZUKI BROWNIE
Happy Tuesday!! If you are the type of person that absolutely loves brownies, this one is for you!!
This healthy flourless brownie is made with a secret ingredient…adzuki beans! And of course, real chocolate (cacao)! Not only that but I am proud to say this healthy brownie is gluten-free, refined sugar free, dairy free and vegan! Such a combo!!
The best thing about this healthy recipe, is that it is super easy to make so I made sure everyone is able to follow step by step while enjoying the baking process… and believe me, the process is very fun!
For the beginners in this blog, something I love doing while baking that I believe will help you a lot is to sample the different steps throughout the process to make sure they have the flavour and tastefulness I am looking for. This little tip will change your baking experience, trust me!!
This healthy brownie is the perfect healthy sweet anyone can eat during weekdays or weekends as a snack or dessert and will still nourish you!
DIABETIC DIET TIP
This healthy brownie contains a mix of healthy fats from the almonds and the coconut oil and carbohydrates from the adzuki beans. So it has carbohydrates yes, but from a legume, not from a grain.
Adzuki beans are rich in protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and beneficial plant compounds. Soaking, sprouting and fermenting makes it easier to absorb these nutrients! This is why you have to soak the legumes at least 24 hours before cooking them (I personally prefer to soak them 48 hours).
This healthy brownie will satisfy your sweet tooth and will certainly maintain your blood glucose levels as long as they are stable from 80-120 mg/dL.
Please try it and let us know what you think! We would love to know how it turned out!!
