Below is the recipe from Scott Jurek's Eat and Run as it was published in Runner's World a few week's back. Immediately below the recipe, I add a few notes about some of the more difficult to find ingredients.

Ingredients:

1 15-ounce can adzuki beans, drained

6 tablespoons cocoa powder
3 tablespoons maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400° F.
2. Grease a 9-inch square pan with coconut oil.
3. Blend beans and banana with almond and coconut milk until smooth and creamy.
4. Add the flours, cocoa, syrup, vanilla, and salt, processing until thoroughly mixed.

8. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, until firm.

The adzuki beans themselves can be ordered cheaply and easily from Amazon, but if you are like me and do not plan ahead, go ahead and substitute kidney beans.
As for the coconut oil, you really don't need much (and you already have some of the milk for flavoring. I think Olive oil works just fine for greasing the pan.
Corrie and I had a difficult time finding the barley flour as well, so we substituted whole wheat flour
Enjoy!! |
