Ingredients

  • 150 gr pre-soaked aduki beans

  • 3 tablespoons agave syrup (or sugar)

  • 3 tablespoons cocoa powder

  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil

  • 1 egg

  • ½ tablespoon gram flour

  • 1 pinch baking soda

  • cinnamon and other spices to taste (optional)

Soak the beans overnight. Cook the beans in boiling water for at least one hour then blitz in a food processor. Check that there’s no small bits left, you need to get a smooth paste.

Mix all the ingredients together: melt some coconut oil over boiling water if the weather is cold and set some of it aside for the ramekins.

The mixture should make 4 small muffins. Swirl the coconut oil inside the ramekins, pour the mixture in and cook in the oven for 15-20 minutes at 150 degrees Celsius.

Serve with either single cream or strawberry jam.
