Black Bean Soymilk

Ever since having this Joyoung soy maker, I've been making soy milk very frequently! Now there are loads of frozen soybean pulp sleeping in my freezer hahaha...Besides making the usual soybean milk, I've try out the blackbean version which my family loves it too! As blackbean has a slight bitter aftertaste, I mixed in some soybean so that the taste is more acceptable for the kids :) What to do with the blackbean pulp? Look out for the coming post on how to utilise them rather than discarding them into bins  ^o^

Ingredient

• 70gm dried black beans
• 30gm dried soy beans
• 1L water

Method

1. Rinse both beans thoroughly. 
2. Place beans and water into soy maker. Select 'dry beans' and start the maker.
3. The machine will beep when the milk is ready after 25mins. 
4. Strain the milk into a clean jug. Stir in sugar to taste.

I'm not a fan of doughnuts as I find them overload with sugar and frosting especially those fanciful ones. hehehe So till now I've yet to attempt any fried doughnuts recipe! But I do not mind baked doughnut with minimal frosting which is  friendlier to my waistline ^.^  This cake like texture doughnut is so irresistible as I really like the cinnamon-sugar coating, can't help popping them into my mouth! ^.^

After baking it just looks like normal little muffins...see how it transforms after coating with cinnamon sugar!
