I had a little adzuki beans left over, so I added them to muffins. The familiar Japanese combination of brown sugar & adzuki manju inspired me, so these are my favorite muffins now.

Do not over-mix the batter and adzuki beans! That way you can taste the adzuki beans and brown sugar in the baked muffins.
I used tinned adzuki beans. If you use a pre-packaged adzuki bean paste, it will be slightly firm, so loosen with a little water. For making 6 muffins. Recipe by yaburie

Steps

1

Bring the all the ingredients to room temperature. Line the muffin moulds with liners. Sift the flour and baking powder together.
2

Put the butter in a bowl and whisk with a balloon whisk until creamy (if the butter is too hard, soften in the microwave).
3

Add the brown sugar and whisk until pale and fluffy.
4

Add the eggs and milk and mix well. Add 1/2 of the sifted dry ingredients and whisk well.
5

Add the rest of the dry ingredients. Change from the balloon whisk to a spatula and fold in the mixture.
6

Fold in until evenly combined and add the adzuki beans. Mix lightly (just roughly combined batter is fine).
7

Put the batter into the liners and give 2 to 3 sharp raps to the mould to let excess air out.
8

Bake in the oven preheated to 180°C for 25 to 30 minutes. When the muffins have swelled and are golden brown, it is done! Cool slightly on a rack.
