Adzuki Bean Brownies Gluten Free Vegan Macrobiotic

We see a lot of black bean brownie recipes on the internet. One day, i thought if we can use black beans to make healthy brownies, i should be able to use adzuki beans as well. This is what i came up with. If you are very sensitive to caffeine, you can use carob powder in place of cocoa powder.
