Description

A delicious sweet treat made with real, nutritious foods


Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup raw macadamia nuts
  • 2 cups pressure cooked adzuki beans (drained)
  • 2 tablespoons hemp seeds
  • 1 tablespoon flax seeds
  • 1 tablespoon psyllium husk flakes
  • 1/2 tablespoon yacon syrup (or more if you like it sweet)
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 5 tablespoons chestnut flour
  • 2 oz dark chocolate, chopped (or you can use chocolate chips), divided 
  • 1/4 tsp salt for the batter
  • Sea salt flakes for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F. 
  2. Prepare an 8×8 inch (or something similar) baking pan with parchment paper. 
  3. Chop the macadamia nuts in a food processor, take them out. 
  4. In the same food processor add the beans and salt and process until it becomes a paste. 
  5. Grind the hemp seeds and flaxseed in a coffee grinder or Nutribullet with a milling blade (or use already ground) and add them to the food processor. Add the psyllium husk flakes, yacon syrup and olive oil and process until all creamy. 
  6. Add the chestnut flour and process until all mixed together. 
  7. Transfer the content to a mixing bowl, add the macadamia nuts and the 1.2oz chopped chocolate and fold everything in with a spatula. Transfer the batter to the baking pan and level. Sprinkle with the remaining chocolate. 
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes, until no longer soft to touch. Sprinkle with sea salt flakes. Let it cool completely before cutting. Store in the refrigerator or freeze. 

Notes

I prefer eating them cold, from the fridge. Texture and taste are the best, in my opinion.
