Because I had leftover matcha, I used it with the black beans left in the fridge to make this Japanese-style muffins. It's different from azuki beans and also very tasty.

Make sure to mix lightly with a rubber spatula after adding the powdered ingredients and the black beans! If you mix too much, it won't get fluffy when baked!
Please adjust the baking time to your oven if it doesn't seem baked enough after the instructed time.
You could also scatter black beans (not listed) on top before baking - it will look nice. Recipe by yaburie
