Low GI Mooncake with White Bean Paste

🧂 Ingredients

• 180 g almond flour

  extra fine
• ⅛ tsp fine salt
• 45 g stevia sweetener
• 1 tbsp unrefined cold pressed coconut oil
• 1 small egg

  45g without shell
• 1 egg white

  for egg wash, can also use egg yolk
• 2 cans cannellini beans

  400g per can, can also use butter beans
• ¼ cup stevia sweetener

Instructions

• 1 Drain water from 2 cans cannellini beans in a colander. Then rinse the beans
  under cool running water for 10 seconds.
• 2 Blend the beans in a food processor into a smooth purée.
• 3 Transfer the bean purée into a non-stick pan. Add 1/4 cup stevia sweetener. Fry
  over medium heat.
• 4 Fry for about 15 minutes until the purée and stevia sweetener is
  well-incorporated. It will turn drier and thicker.
  
  Then remove from the heat and let it cool completely.
  
  Cool in the fridge for at least an hour.
  
  Note: you can also make the paste a day before.
• 5 Pre-heat oven to 170C / 338F, upper and lower heat without fan.
• 6 Mix the dry ingredients in a big mixing bowl – 180 g almond flour, 1/8 tsp fine
  salt, 45 g stevia sweetener.
  
  Then add in 1 tbsp unrefined cold pressed coconut oil and 1 small egg. Mix with
  a spatula into a rough dough.
• 7 Then use your hand to brief mix into a smooth dough.
• 8 Cover the dough with cling wrap and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
• 9 Roll the dough into 30g balls. Roll the white bean paste into 20g balls.
  
  Note: I'm using a 50g mould, ratio of dough to paste is 60% to 40%.
• 10 Flatten the dough and place a white bean paste filling ball on it. Wrap the
  paste filling with the dough and roll into a ball.
• 11 Use a mooncake press mould and press it into shape.
• 12 Place the mooncakes onto a lightly greased baking paper on a baking tray.
  
  Lightly brush the egg white wash over the mooncakes.
• 13 Bake in the pre-heat oven for 15 minutes until the mooncakes turn golden brown.
  
  Note: place the baking tray in the middle rack.
• 14 Let the flavour develop over 1-2 days before serving.
