How to Make Vegan Red Bean Paste Cookies (상투과자)

Hey everyone! My post for the white bean paste cookies original post here has been so popular, I’ve decided to come up with a few new ways to make and enjoy this recipe. Here’s one variation: a VEGAN Korean Red Bean Paste Cookies.

The secret to making this vegan is tapioca flour, which helps bind the cookie batter together and helps the cookies develop a crispy and chewy exterior!

Ingredients Used to Make This

**I’ve linked some of these ingredients to amazon.com to give you an idea of what they are, but you should also be able to find them in your local grocery store (usually, the natural & organic food section). They are also affiliate links, which means that I earn a commission as an Amazon Associate if you decide to purchase the items. The price will be the same for you, link or no link 🙂

  • Sweetened Red Bean Paste (a.k.a. Koshi An): I eat this stuff by spoonfuls! It’s a versatile ingredient that goes inside my sweet rice mochi recipe as well my tofu mochi recipe, but it’s also used as fillings inside sweet breads, pancakes, cookies and more. You can find Sweetened Red Bean paste in most Asian grocery stores, and online (Amazon). There are Fine and Coarse kinds (I used coarse).

  • Tapioca Flour – The secret to making these cookies vegan (without eggs) is tapioca flour, which helps bind the cookie batter together and helps the cookies develop a crispy and chewy exterior.
  • Almond Milk – milk of your choice. I used almond milk since that was what I had at home.
  • Almond flour – I used storebought Almond Flour like this one

Recipe Variations and Optional Add Ins:

  • Love Coffee? Just add 1-2 tsp of coffee extract (1 tsp of instant coffee granules plus 1 tsp hot water) to the bean paste batter before baking. For the mocha version, add 1 Tbsp of cocoa powder
  • Add natural flavoring / extracts. You can add a teaspoon of vanilla extract (I didn’t feel like it was essential so I left it out in this recipe), or other flavorings or extracts, such as caramel flavoring, hazelnut extract or almond extract.
  • Chocolate Chip – Sprinkle mini chocolate chips on top before baking
what other flavor variations can you think of?
