Instructions
Step 1 of 10:
Place kidney beans in a sieve, rinse well, and drain very thoroughly.
Step 2 of 10:
Weigh the ingredients for the batter and place them in a bowl. Puree until no bean pieces are visible.
Step 3 of 10:
If desired, fold in cocoa nibs or chopped nuts at the end.
Step 4 of 10:
Line the unperforated insert with parchment paper.
Step 5 of 10:
Pour in the batter and smooth it out slightly if necessary. Do not cover the batter.
Step 6 of 10:
Fill the pressure cooker with water up to the minimum mark. Place the trivet in the pot and position the unperforated insert with the cake mixture on top.
Step 7 of 10:
Close the pot according to the instructions, set the cooking crown on the lid to level 2 (quick cooking), and bring the contents to a boil over high heat. As soon as the yellow ring becomes visible, reduce the heat. When the green ring appears, the cooking time of 25 minutes begins.
Step 8 of 10:
At the end of the cooking time, release the pressure from the pressure cooker according to the instructions and open it. No condensation should drip onto the cake.
Step 9 of 10:
Remove the brownie cake from the pan, remove the parchment paper, and let it cool on a wire rack.
Step 10 of 10:
Once the cake has cooled, you can sprinkle it with cocoa powder. The cake will keep for several days but should be stored in the refrigerator from the second day onwards.
Note:
Wheat bran contains gluten. For a gluten-free version, gluten-free oat bran or buckwheat bran can be used. In principle, all low-carb sweeteners can be used.
Kidney beans do contain carbohydrates, but the amount used per serving here is quite small.
This brownie cake can also be prepared in a regular, non-low-carb version. For this, (gluten-free) oats, raw sugar, or household sugar can be used.
The cake is not very sweet. Those with a sweet tooth can use 10 g more sweetener.
